Thanks very much, Chair.
Thanks to the government for moving this amendment.
I will ask this of our officials, in relation to G-1. It seems to me that this would be something that makes good sense. However, in terms of similar.... I'm curious about where the Governor in Council has the power to make appointments and whether the change being suggested by the government lines up with what the case would be in other areas of this act and across the areas of responsibility.
The reason I ask that question is to make sure that it's consistent, that it's understood and that there is a definition as to what reasonableness would be in determining what a Governor in Council appointment looks like—which, for those listening, is the minister making that appointment—and the difference between what was initially proposed and what my Liberal colleague talked about, that some of the civil society groups have asked for this reasonableness clause.
I'm wondering if you could unpack a few of those things. I'm also very curious about whether this is in conflict or continuity with other aspects, or makes any changes to other aspects of where Governor in Council appointments would be applied.
