I'd say the short answer is absolutely yes. The proposal that I mentioned in my opening remarks, which we'll make to the minister shortly, that candidates be required to make an undertaking that they will abide by CJC policies on judicial education and tell us more about their training is very important.
On the second part of your question on the appointment process itself—and I'm completely non-partisan; I've been a public servant for 25 years—I think the changes to the judicial advisory committees, JACs, that have been made recently are very positive. The members of the JACs now include three members of the public. They are half composed of women or a majority of women, and members of the JACs receive training on the importance of being aware of diversity. They watch a video by the chief justice of Canada about the importance of their work. So absolutely, that first step of the process is a critical part. The more independent the appointment, the better the candidates down the road.
