Mr. Chairman, the committee has been approving a vast number of amendments to all these various crown corporations. They have been approving amendments that extend the GIC's discretion to make appointments from a maximum of three years to a maximum of four years.
There were two inadvertent inclusions. One is the CBC, under the Broadcasting Act, where people were already at a five-year maximum. We accidentally included them, reducing theirs to four years. So that's why that one was ultimately defeated. We have the exact same situation with Telefilm Canada. It's currently a five-year maximum. They were accidentally included, which would reduce them to four years. This was not the policy intent.
