If I understand your question, you're asking if those are the kinds of things that were in the minutes? Okay.
I wasn't on the board when the discussion about the minutes first happened that Françoise had mentioned. But the problem I experienced on the board was that by the time you got your minutes.... You know, you want to review things and make sure you heard things properly. We probably all took our own notes when we were at these meetings. To me, the minutes need to reflect what is being discussed and what is being said.
The other thing about the minutes that's really important as well is that as an agency, when they released a press release in March, they had a value statement, and in that value statement the agency made a point of saying that all the minutes would be posted publicly, for the public, on their website. To date, that has never happened.
Now, I totally understand that anything pertaining to cabinet confidence would not be posted unless it was for public knowledge. But to not honour that commitment to Canadians is something I found very difficult to understand. It's something I actually had brought up at the last face-to-face board meeting I was at. I had asked continuously about whether or not I could put on the agenda the discussion about posting of board minutes. It was very difficult to get that on the agenda, but it finally was put on the agenda.
Just to make another point about the kinds of things that were delegated to teleconferences, the follow-up discussion on that item was actually put to a teleconference where there were no minutes of the discussion about posting minutes on the AHRC website for the public.
