The short list certainly was provided to the Prime Minister. I was provided that list from the Prime Minister and undertook to do extensive consultations, reviewed the jurisprudence of every single individual who was on that list, which in the case of Justice Rowe was quite large. I did not rank candidates for the Prime Minister. I was pleased to have gone through the thorough consultation, to have reviewed all the jurisprudence and other professional and academic writings. I was happy to fulfill my role as the Minister of Justice and be able to provide a recommendation to the Prime Minister.
In terms of your question about a hybrid process, as I said earlier, I'm very open to hearing feedback from members of this committee. Once that feedback and the feedback of the advisory board is provided, I will take it into consideration.
