Mr. Speaker, we have heard a lot today about the selection process of the commissioners as it relates to their work on the Parole Board. Would the member provide his comments as to what he thinks is the best way to select members for the board? Would it be based on political affiliation, as we saw in the previous Harper government?
We know at that time six of the nine members of the Quebec board were active supporters of the Conservative Party. Would the member think a better approach would be one based on the skills and abilities of individual members, regardless of their political affiliation?
