I appreciate the opportunity to answer that question as well.
I indicated in my previous remarks when I was at committee last time, and it was confirmed by testimony given by the Privy Council official, that Ms. Verschuren did apply. She did go through the new appointments process, a process that ultimately saw over 100 people apply. That is my understanding, based on the testimony provided by the PCO official. Her name went through a rigorous process whereby individuals were vetted, and then ultimately recommendations were made to me for a Governor in Council appointment.
Again, to summarize, she did apply, and ultimately that name was recommended to me along with other names, and then I made a Governor in Council recommendation.
