Mr. Speaker, as I have said on numerous occasions in the House, I believe the appointment process we have in this country has guaranteed 130 years of highly qualified jurists who have served in the Supreme Court of Canada.
What I have also said is that in my developing a list of qualified applicants for a position with the Supreme Court of Canada, I am willing to consult with any and all Canadians who are interested. Therefore, I would encourage the hon. member, other members of his party and other Canadians interested in this appointment to contact me directly.
