May I ask a question to the IRB chair, then? Of the 89 that you or your predecessor recommended to be reappointed, do you say to the minister that you would prefer to have a certain percentage of members with experience rather than new members? That's the first question.
My second question is this. Why would you disqualify members who would take six to twelve months to be productive? I would imagine there are some members who have more experience than others, who would be a lot faster at becoming fully productive.
Thirdly, on the increased backlog, have you thought of recommending that perhaps you expand your board membership and have even more members?
Lastly, what plan do you have to deal with the significant backlog that is caused mostly by the vacancies in the last two years? Plus, it takes the new members who have been appointed as a result a long time to become fully productive.
