Mr. Chair, thanks again.

I want to start by saying thank you to our interpreters for doing a wonderful job, as they have always done.

I want to get your opinion about board composition. I know CASDO recommends a majority of persons with disabilities on the board. We had a visitor yesterday in our office who proposed a higher percentage of people with disabilities on the board of CASDO.

Could each of you give me your opinion on how that board should be composed? Should it be 50% plus one, 70%, 100%?
