We don't have any other questions here, but I would like to take the chair's prerogative.
I think our Auditor General brought up an interesting scenario, that if you are seeking someone with strong economic background, and there's just no one in the pool for that particular position, then you're going to have a vacancy. I think there should be a certain level of confidence there. If we've recruited well and done all the things we think we've done, and there's still, for some reason, not quite the threshold of merit we would like to see, then we don't have it.
The other thing is that there are a lot of people in our constituencies across the country who always come to members of Parliament and ask how to get on one of these boards. Typically, we tell them to look at the website and apply. I'm not certain how many do. It's like sitting at the coffee shop back home. Everyone is an expert and is sure he or she can do the job, and probably better than the bureaucrats who are there now.
If they apply, that's good. Do they just not get put into the pool? Do they get told they are no longer being considered, or are they held in this limbo out there where they're sitting by the phone waiting, because they know government wants their expertise? Maybe you're just saying, “We don't have that expertise in this group right now.”
