I appreciate the question from Mr. Battiste and I'll expand on it to say that in addition to the perspective, experience and commitment that Justice O'Bonsawin will bring to the court, the element of diversity will add to the deliberation of the court on all of the matters it's dealing with and will add to the appreciation that Canadians have for the capabilities, reputation and integrity of the court itself.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7292590\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is an important piece of our path to reconciliation and it's an important element of how we continue to build a country of diversity, where we're always learning, where we're always growing and where the Supreme Court of Canada, as a court of general jurisdiction, will show leadership, as it has. Canadians can continue to benefit from having a court that is fully representative of the country as we continue to learn, grow and reconcile. It is indeed a historic thing.</p>",

Je remercie M. Battiste d'avoir pos\u00e9 la question, et j'ajouterai qu'en plus du point de vue, de l'exp\u00e9rience et de l'engagement que la juge O'Bonsawin apportera \u00e0 la Cour, l'\u00e9l\u00e9ment de diversit\u00e9 contribuera aux d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations de la Cour concernant toutes les questions qu'elle traite et renforcera la compr\u00e9hension que les Canadiens ont des capacit\u00e9s, de la r\u00e9putation et de l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 de la Cour elle-m\u00eame.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7292590\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s'agit d'un \u00e9l\u00e9ment important de notre cheminement vers la r\u00e9conciliation et de la fa\u00e7on dont nous continuons \u00e0 b\u00e2tir un pays fond\u00e9 sur la diversit\u00e9, o\u00f9 nous apprenons et grandissons sans cesse et o\u00f9 la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada, en tant que tribunal de comp\u00e9tence g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, fera preuve de leadership, comme elle l'a fait dans le pass\u00e9. Les Canadiens peuvent continuer de b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier d'une cour qui repr\u00e9sente la totalit\u00e9 des citoyens du Canada, pendant que nous continuons d'apprendre, de grandir et de nous r\u00e9concilier. Il s'agit en effet d'un \u00e9v\u00e9nement historique.</p>"
