My comments are along the lines of Mme Borges’. When we asked the question, we were told that the members of the Agency can come from all over Canada. Once they’re appointed, they have a “pied-à-terre” here, they reside here for efficiency’s sake. I think it’s easy to understand. It’s just to be more efficient and save money; I hope we all understand that. Maybe in the long term, by saving, we’ll manage to fix the fiscal imbalance.
