Thank you, Mr. Chair. As you so cordially invited us to take a health break, I will take this opportunity to invite my colleagues to take part in a "parliamentary health" initiative. We run at 6:45 on Tuesday mornings and swim at 6:45 on Thursday mornings. That is for my friend Mr. Bélanger in particular.
Thanks to our guests. Your comments were relevant and very interesting.
My first question is for you, Ms. Duchesne. I am a lawyer. I come from British Columbia and have dealt with constitutional affairs in British Columbia and Quebec as well in the course of my career. So I am very much interested in the subject addressed by my friend Mr. Godin, that is to say the bilingualism of Supreme Court judges. I agree with him. It is a priority that the judges be able to speak both languages. Do you believe that other priorities, such as the integrity of candidates, Canada's legal capacity and also regional representation on the Supreme Court, may perhaps conflict with this priority of bilingualism in candidates to the Supreme Court?
