It seemed low to me, given the vastness of the region that we were choosing from.
Anyone who has looked at the questionnaire would realize that it would take time to put together such a questionnaire. Time.... We're not saying anything new. Other groups have said it in the past. The more time you can provide for this process, the better it is, not just for our work but also for the applications.
One of the things I hope we can do is continuously look to see who are the best and the brightest in Canada. Who are the people who would be qualified? The application process allows anyone, given a narrow...but still anyone, basically. If you've practised law or even have been a member of the bar for 10 years, you can apply to be a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.
Maybe in terms of the application process, we need more time. We need perhaps more education across the bar. We could keep more on the lookout. Those kinds of things.
