The member knows that we have opened this process to have all positions available online. All Canadians can apply. I have full confidence that the Canadian who is chosen to fill the post will take the responsibility very seriously.</p>",

Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 sait que nous avons \u00e9largi ce processus afin que tous les postes soient affich\u00e9s en ligne. Tous les Canadiens peuvent pr\u00e9senter leur candidature. Je suis absolument convaincue que la personne retenue pour le poste prendra ses responsabilit\u00e9s tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux.</p>"
