As an Individual

Annette Verschuren

Mr. Chair, I have myself in a situation that I never would have expected in my life. I have worked with Liberal governments, NDP governments and Conservative governments. I think it's really important to want input from people who perhaps have experience like mine and others to help run organizations.

Yes, I think Canada needs people who are independent and can contribute to improving operations, get involved in institutions and be on boards. I think that's really critical.

Yes, it's something that I worry about as a Canadian.

The Chair Conservative John Williamson

Thank you very much.

I want to thank you, Ms. Verschuren, for your testimony and participation in relation to the study. I know there are some documents that you've agreed to submit in terms of timelines and some questions. If you could submit those to the clerk, that would be greatly appreciated.

On that note, this meeting is adjourned.
