I feel that the system actually is very transparent. Anyone who qualifies within the application process can apply. It is available online to any person who is practising law and is a member of the bar for 10 years in any of the provinces and territories that in fact are open, say, in this case, western Canada.
However, also, we have an independent group. Our group is independent. We don't carry a brief for anyone. In fact, one of the first things we did was to inquire whether anyone had a personal relation with any of the applicants or was carrying a brief, if you will, for any of the applicants, and of course the answer was no, so we proceeded. That's, I think, pretty strong evidence that the process itself is very transparent.
