The members of the committee were selected by the President of the Treasury Board of the day. I'll quickly go through the list of members, if I may, Mr. Chair. The work of the president's external advisory committee on regulatory competitiveness is transparently published on the Treasury Board of Canada's website, so I'm not revealing any brand new information.
The chair is Ms. Laura Jones, who is the executive vice-president and chief strategic officer of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Dr. Catherine Beaudry is a professor and Canada research chair in the creation, development and the commercialization of innovation, at Polytechnique Montréal.
Stewart Elgie is a professor of law and economics and executive chair of the Smart Prosperity Institute, University of Ottawa.
Ginny Flood is vice-president of government relations at Suncor Energy.
Anne Fowlie is the CEO of AgWise Strategic Solutions, Fruit and Vegetable Dispute Resolution Corporation.
Don Mercer is the president of the Consumers Council of Canada.
Keith Mussar is the vice-president of regulatory affairs, I.E.Canada, Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters.
Finally, Nancy Olewiler is the director of the School of Public Policy at Simon Fraser University.
Consumer representation, academic representation and industry representation balance out the membership of that advisory committee.
