Mrs. Brière, I would just like to add that in appointing a justice of the Supreme Court, we always have to take into consideration the geographic aspect and regional representation. When we lost Justice Brown, it was clear that we needed to choose another justice from Western Canada or Northern Canada to respect the constitutional convention of representing each region, for instance. That is another aspect that is part of our analysis and our process.
