Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you also to the witnesses for appearing today.
Mr. Parker, as you know, our Conservative government has created the Social Security Tribunal, which has effectively replaced the EI board. This new tribunal consolidates and improves on the old pension and EI boards.
Would you say that the selection process for serving on this tribunal is vigorous? Also, could you outline for the committee the specific steps that are taken to vet a candidate for this board? Could you take us through the criteria or testing process that is used to assess a candidate? Finally, could you comment on the process? Do you feel confident in the process?
