I suspect the Minister knows but I did not mean to be in any way provocative with my earlier point. It was to give him an opening. I have heard the Minister's comments on my amendment. The objective is for the Judiciary to have greater diversity and reflect the diversity of the population as a whole. My amendment would make that a firm principal subject with respect to merit. It enhances the Bill and strengthens the commitment.
