Thank you for the question, Mr. Russell.
Yes, a year has been lost, and that's deeply regrettable. We certainly hope the commission will recapture some of the momentum that was there last year.
There was a process involving all the parties to the agreement—the governments, churches, aboriginal groups, and so on—that dealt with the governance issues that may have contributed to the breakdown of the first commission. All of the details on a selection process are on the TRC website.
I was the minister's representative on that selection committee. Its advice has been handed in, and we're expecting an announcement very shortly on the new commissioners.
