parliamentarians as a whole are
in the minority, and the provincial attorney general and provincial bar are represented, along with the Canadian Bar Association and the Canadian Judicial Conference; a protocol of consultation published by the minister of justice, setting out whom the minister intends to consult and with whom the advisory panel will meet; a
public announcement by the minister of the criteria by which each candidate will be evaluated; and a final
hearing at which the minister of justice — and not only the nominee — answers questions from
parliamentarians, notably regarding how the nominee meets the established criteria,» he wrote then.
