Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thinking is similar to my colleague's. I like the idea of putting some parameters around the timeline. It's something we heard from port authorities in terms of frustration around the long delays in appointing board members.
To be frank, I'm not that familiar with what's involved in the current selection process. I'm wondering if our witnesses who are more familiar with it could lay out what the different steps are. How much time do those typically take? What currently is the average time to approval from a position becoming vacant to having someone in that seat? We've heard that it can be years.
I'm curious about the parameters, and I'm just worried. Six months seems short to me. Is a year reasonable? I don't have much to base it on, so I'm wondering if they could provide some guidance on what has to take place within that time period and what the current time period is.
