Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wish to thank the witnesses for being with us.
I represent a riding that is very rich in its cultural diversity. In my riding there are several major issues related to your mission, for example, children who cannot play on local soccer teams because they wear a turban. I think that your mission is very important and an interesting one, and I am very happy to welcome you to today’s meeting of the committee.
I have a question regarding the selection of members of the board. You mentioned more than once that the members of the board were appointed by the Governor in Council on the minister’s recommendation.
Could you give me your opinion on this? Could you tell me whether, in your opinion, there might be better ways of going about appointing members of the board? Do you feel this creates obstacles? I would like to hear your comments on this.
