I move amendment No. 20:

In page 33, to delete line 14 and substitute the following: “(b) the Commission has interviewed the applicant and, where applicable, has completed any other selection process conducted by the Commission in considering his or her application.”.

A mere interview might not be enough in regard to this important selection so this process should also be utilised in the selection of judges. It would be a more active test than a mere interview.
