Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Government doesn't have a position. Cabinet doesn't have a position on something that is largely under the federal authority and is a federal matter, but I'm more than prepared to give my opinion about what I see as a lack of change in terms of the appointment process. The one change, I think, that has legitimately been identified is that the police will have a voice on the nomination committees, there will be a seat, I think it's one of the seven or one of the eight that will be reserved for the Canadian Police Association. Aside from that, I don't see a change, personally, Mr. Speaker, but again, I'll make the point that we don't have a Cabinet position or a government position on something that's largely outside our authority. Thank you.
