The gap existed from November 2012 until this past June. Over the past four years, we lost our quorum three times. We had to get rather creative in delaying board of governors meetings until the appointments were made.
We have competency skills for the governor, according to our mandate and the legislation. We provide, on a regular ongoing basis, information to the minister's office on the need for these nominations. Ultimately, they make the decision. Over the years, these decisions have always come to us for maintaining a minimum quorum, but that has not been seen as an optimal governance situation by the Auditor General. It's resolved now, and I think with the new nomination process that has been announced by the government last February, I believe—and we have been the first agency to go through this system—it's a robust system to nominate people to agencies and crown corporations. We will see with time if this is effective, but for the moment I can tell you that we are in ongoing conversations with the minister's office, as well as with the bureaucracy, and I consider this no longer to be an issue.
