Mr. Speaker, when our government was elected in 2015, we created a more rigorous, open and accountable system that better reflects Canada's diversity when appointing top-notch judges to our institutions.
Our appointments are always based on merit. They are also based on developmental needs, the expertise of the various candidates and the recommendations of the independent judicial advisory committees.
We are proud of all those who have been appointed since the implementation of our system. They come from diverse backgrounds and political affiliations.
