Your recommendation was that the minister have the ability to appoint half of the new board.
I will tell you why this raises some concerns. I have a quote here to read for you from Mr. Poilievre. He's a Conservative MP who said in committee that the government will never appoint people who don't agree with its agenda. I'm going to quote:
We've always been clear that we will be appointing people who will further the agenda. It's nothing new. In fact, it's worth saying twice. We are going to appoint people who agree with the agenda that we intend to implement—
This new structure that is being suggested undoubtedly has raised a lot of alarms and concerns.
I'm going to move now to Mr. Summers. Is it fair to say that things have been improving in the selection process over the last few years, before these recommendations and before these changes? Can you describe that for me? Have things been worsening?
