I guess we're in an odd position. Normally we'd read an order in council appointment and then we would be invited to submit.... What we read was a press release put out by the minister announcing his position.
It's an odd process to follow. Normally it would be an order in council, but since they did a press release stating this was the case, I feel we need to at least find out about the process.
We know the Privy Council was involved in the appointment, the Heritage department certainly was involved, and we know the Prime Minister's Office was. I'd like to find out what the process was, how it was done, and what the timelines were.
