Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think the amendment clarifies the roles between the minister and the Governor in Council. Inserting new text establishes an obligation on an individual actor—that is, the minister—to make a recommendation that would then be considered for appointment by the Governor in Council in the clause before that. This recognizes the role of the minister, and that a minister can be answerable for that. It is also consistent with other legislation, including the RCMP Act and Bill C-40. I recognize that these are fairly new types of clauses. It's only in the last few years that Parliament has been adopting these.
There may be some benefit in consistency around the duties of a given minister.
