Thank you.
Mr. Murray, my next question is about how the appointment of the chair of the board of directors of a port authority should take place. In the bill, we see that the government would like to gain control over the boards of all of Canada's ports by appointing their chair. I have to wonder when I see this.
I think everyone here has raised the issue of the politicization of the position. In my view, an appointee is beholden, first and foremost, to the person who appointed them. Thus, a person appointed by the minister becomes, first and foremost, beholden to the minister. I wonder, then, what moral authority such an individual would have. We know there's a chain of command in any organization, and it seems to me that the proper functioning of an organization also depends on moral authority. If we trust that the person in charge is the right one, and that they are in charge for the right reasons, it will be easier to work with them than if we're under the impression that this person is simply the spokesperson or the stooge of the government of the day.
Am I mistaken?
