I would as much put this to the chair as I would to the representatives, because I don't know the answer.
There is a board of directors with clear responsibilities, as subsection 31(1) of the act says: “The Board is responsible for overseeing the organization and administration of the Agency and the management of its resources, services, property, personnel and contracts.” I appreciate very much that we have the hired staff, the top staff, here. But, Chair, it would seem to me that we'd also want to hear from those who are maybe once removed from the actual administration of the agency and who have oversight responsibilities, although I would accept that, at this point in the process, if you're not recommending any changes, neither are they.
So I won't make a big deal out of it. It may not be crucial. But I certainly think it's something to consider for the next time, that the board maybe makes their own presentation, because their view of things is different from that of the staff. All of us who have served on community boards would understand that.
So I would just leave that there, unless you have any response as to why. Maybe there's a structural reason that we didn't bring in the board.
