Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The appointments are not restricted to territorial residents. The advisory committee could look across the country for prospective candidates. This is, indeed, an area that I know those who are planning for Nunavut are keeping in mind in looking in other jurisdictions. That being said, they have to keep in mind that all we have are three positions and that judges are appointed for an indefinite period so that vacancies are quite rare. Thank you.
