I would agree with that. Having had experience with workers' compensation boards across the country, you see different models. One is a purely political model, where you just put people in there as political appointments, and then all of a sudden that will influence the rate-setting mechanism. So we'd like a stable board, if possible. We'd like a non-partisan board, with people with expertise, which I'd like to see a committee agree upon.
Informally, it's been identified that the nomination committee will be the EI Commission, but I don't think it's formally stated in the act. I'd like to see it formally stated in the act because that would give employers and employees more say, rather than the political party in power.
I'm assuming it's a part-time board. We're talking about managing a $2 billion surplus. I don't know how much is full-time.
Also, I'm concerned about administrative costs. I don't know how much support is being put under here, and I'd like to look at that.
So I don't have the full scenario, but I think the model could work. We'll have to see.
