Mr. Chair, let me try to answer the question. As my comments indicated, the government has made a number of changes to improve the rigour and nature of the appointments process since 2006. In my comments I went through six of those, but there are more. They've all been geared toward being much more rigorous in terms of the qualifications and competencies required. They've been geared toward the public notification, including advertisements for the appointments, and the nature of the process to move forward. The government and the Prime Minister in his 2006 guide have moved to improve the accessibility and rigour of the GIC appointment process. It has launched the website. It advertises GIC appointments to all leadership, and quasi-judicial appointments are made based on advertised selection criteria. I think that's a very substantial change in the rigour of the appointments process for GICs over the last number of years.
