As you can appreciate, the board is composed of a group of individuals who are independent, who are skilled and knowledgeable in their areas. We don't always agree. We meet and we listen carefully, and we draw on the expertise that our staff provides to us, but at the end of the day, we must make decisions that we believe are correct.
In board settings I have dissented in certain circumstances and it has not always been comfortable, but I have done so because I have weighed carefully all of the facts and information before me. On some of those occasions, I have stood alone but confident that I have honoured my conscience and made a decision that I believe is correct.
Thank you.
