There were 2,500 applicants. They were shortlisted and brought for interview. If you look at the Act, it says that there will be a Chairman and, at least, eight members, drawn from the provinces of this country. The presumption is that one per province. The painstaking interviews that the Committee went through--- I want to urge my colleagues in the Committee not to try to be wiser after the event. That is because we left the Committee with a unanimous position on, not only the list, but on every member. There was no dissenting voice when we left and instructed the Chairman to bring the list to this House."}
