What I'd first like to do is pose a question to our technical experts, and then I'd like to make my intervention.
I'll pose this to Mr. Wild.
First, if Mr. Martin's amendment is accepted.... I'm reading the clause here. It says, “in order to be appointed under subsection (1), a person must be”. Then we'd go straight to “a former member of a federal or provincial board, commission or tribunal who, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, has demonstrated expertise in one or more of the following:” Then it lists some.
Are we then excluding former judges?
