Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Yukon for his question and his excellent French.
I am pleased to announce the nomination of the Hon. Sheilah L. Martin to the Supreme Court. With her wealth of experience and the many distinctions she has earned, she will be a valuable addition to the Supreme Court.
Justice Martin is my second nomination under our new selection process, which promotes greater openness, transparency, and accountability. We are committed to appointing justices of the highest calibre, functionally bilingual, and representative of our diversity.
Permit me also to once again thank Chief Justice McLachlin for her extraordinary service to Canada.
