Right now, the refugee appeal division, for example, is made up of GIC appointments. I think part of the rationale behind that might be because they're looking for more experienced members to join the RAD. I guess this would depend on maybe changes to the regulations, but the same public service appointee process for the RPD could also be applied at the RAD if the concern is partisan political appointments.
