Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for being here this morning.
Ms. McTeer, you spoke very thoroughly in your explanation of the process. One of the things you mentioned, along with it being an important role of the highest calibre, is that it must reflect Canada. We know Justice Martin is from the west, and obviously the preference was there.
Can you speak to the importance of that reflection and why we must have a justice from western Canada? Why was that necessary?
