It's crystal clear in my mind. I don't know how you interpret this. However, if someone calls to say that, in the end, Ms. Meilleur has been selected and that she has a good track record, I wouldn't consider that a consultation.
The party leaders, through the Prime Minister, should have been consulted. However, this wasn't done. Ms. Joly called Mrs. Boucher and Mr. Choquette, who are both official languages critics for their parties, but she didn't consult them. She told the House that she had consulted them. However, calling someone to say that a person has been selected doesn't in any way constitute a consultation. I'll stop here. I may return to the subject later, depending on what comes next and what I could add.
In conclusion, I think the committee must analyze not only the person's skills, but also the process that leads to the person's appointment.
