Maybe I could respond to the member's questions with regard to the process for appointing the board of directors. As indicated in the opening remarks, the board of directors will be selected from a list prepared by a nominating committee. The chair of the nominating committee will be appointed by the minister, based on merit. That chair, as well as the two existing EI commissioners, will be responsible for preparing a list of proposed nominations.
The merit criteria for the board of directors are specified in the act, and those appointments are Governor in Council ones. The government process for making those appointments will be adhered to.
