Thank you.

Thank you for agreeing to appear, Minister.

The justices expressed over and over in their testimony prior to yours, and we've talked about it a fair bit, the concern of independence.

Do you believe, Minister, given the Ethics Commissioner's findings in the SNC-Lavalin affair, that your government is well positioned to protect judicial independence?
