At Canada Health Infoway, the board is basically appointed by the members. The feds have two appointment positions on the board, one is a member, while the federal Deputy Minister of Health appoints the chair of the board. There are five members appointed from each of the five regions of Canada, and the regions appoint their own representatives to the board at that time. And there are six independent directors who are appointed by the members at the annual general meeting.
