Thank you very much.
I'm glad I have an opportunity to follow up on some of the conversation. As someone who wears many hats as a member with a diverse background, I think true diversity of thought really transcends more than tokenism or the check mark that Ms. McTeer spoke about. I think it really relies on deep, meaningful experiences. Given the track record of Justice Joyal and what we've heard this morning, it really shows that depth. Learning about Justice Joyal's experience and his work, whether it's in francophone or....
Actually, I'll take a moment to quote the remarks of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs in their news release: “For many years, he has demonstrated that the administration of justice is strengthened when courts are prepared to listen, to learn, and to build respectful relationships with First Nations.” That's just one of the many validators who spoke so highly about Justice Joyal's experience and his balanced approach, his wisdom and his open-mindedness.
I'm wondering if one of you could speak to that depth of knowledge, diversity of experience and thought.
