So if it did turn out that prime ministers now automatically use the process, and if it came to be accepted, as Professor Gélinas suggests might be a possibility, that this was really a convention, that this ripened into a new convention that appointments would always be made by using this admittedly optional process, section 24 would not speak to that.
Donc, même si les premiers ministres en venaient à utiliser systématiquement le processus et, comme l'a laissé entendre M. Gélinas, s'il devenait même une nouvelle convention selon laquelle les nominations se feraient toujours en fonction de ce processus néanmoins facultatif, cela ne changerait rien à l'article 24.
