We introduced a system in 2016 to make the process more transparent, and I think we've been very successful.
We're looking for quality and diversity, and not one at the expense of the other. I think we've achieved that. We have advisory committees across Canada, including two in Quebec, one in the east and one in the west. Representation is important.
Some candidates are chosen by Quebec, others by community members, lawyers and the Minister of Justice. We review applications. We created an online form, which we revised in 2022 in response to feedback from participants, who are not all lawyers.
