It was part of our terms of reference. The Prime Minister 's marching orders to us were to try to maximize the diversity of the court and to look for candidates who represented all those qualities. One of our committee members is a member of the LGBTQ community and very active. We have an indigenous person on the committee, but also, when we are dealing with the candidates, we ask them to talk to us about their experience of the diversity of Canadian society, and of course, they do it confidentially. Some of them have very interesting experiences of themselves, of their families, whatever.
What we are trying to do is to make sure that the lived reality of Canadians in all of its diversity is understood by people on the courts. Justice Martin has done so many things and has lived so many different types of tensions and dualities in Canadian society that I think that really enriches her humanity and her ability to understand society.
The short answer is that we make it a centrepiece of our inquiries.
