    Speaking to CBC News on his way out of question period, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said he sent a letter to opposition parties on Monday to advise them of the government’s choice for commissioner.

    “As of an hour ago, we have written to the opposition party leaders with a recommended name,” he said.

    “We look forward to their feedback and we will have more to say once we receive feedback from them.”
