Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, the hon. member has misrepresented the process.
All candidates are assessed by judicial advisory committees, which are non-partisan. They have no access to partisan information. Only highly recommended and recommended candidates move on to the next step of consultation in the legal community.
Our goal is to seek out high-quality and diverse candidates. I am very proud of my appointments and I can assure the hon. member that I have never been pressured by the Prime Minister's office.
