Thank you for being with us today, Minister Lametti and the Right Honourable Kim Campbell. This is a historic nomination for the country. Ms. Campbell, having been the first female prime minister of this country, knows what history is like. This is a historic day that the first person of colour is being nominated to the Supreme Court of Canada.
I understand that it's up to the candidate to self-identify as a minority, and that during the process that led to the appointment of our most recent Supreme Court justice, there were no self-identified minorities. Besides the nominee that we have here today, Mr. Justice Jamal, were there many other self-identified minorities amongst the candidates?
That's for the Right Honourable Kim Campbell.
