Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my colleague of the importance of the process of appointing an official languages commissioner.
Of course this was a merit-based, open, and transparent process. I have explained the process very clearly. In light of all these explanations, I hope my colleagues will respect it. The reality is that this is the first time a government is really explaining the process for appointing an officer of Parliament.
Following this entirely credible and reasonable process that was done by the book, we were able to find the right candidate who has the skills required to fill the position.
