The position that he consistently took was that of wanting to create a less partisan appointment process, which was the case under the Liberals in a number of cases, one where the person being appointed is the absolute best choice in the country or in that region, without caring about his or her political affiliation one way or the other, not as a positive or a negative.
Il a toujours voulu créer un processus de nomination moins partisan, ce qui laissait souvent à désirer sous le règne des libéraux. Il a constamment prôné un processus permettant de choisir le meilleur candidat au Canada ou dans une région, absolument sans égard à l'allégeance politique.
