Thank you, Madam Chair.
To answer the more specific question, it is up to a minister. I'm being careful here in that a Governor in Council appointee can be a CEO of a Crown corporation or a head of a tribunal. It can be any number of those sorts of positions. The information that does come forward about someone's suitability to be in a position can come from various places.
It would be something that the minister would be consulted on and a view would be brought forward to the Governor in Council to say that for all these reasons, this person is not suitable. Again, it would depend on the kind of appointee. We have Governor in Council appointees who serve at good behaviour. We have some who serve at pleasure. In any case, if concerns are raised, a GIC appointee is entitled to procedural fairness. They would have a chance to respond to the concerns that are being raised as to whether or not those were legitimate concerns.
Often those concerns do come through an investigation. It is possible that they could come through some other avenues, but procedural fairness and the right of the individual to make representations would still be considered.
