I guess I'd ask the witnesses. This is a new provision. Previously, they were just excluded. It was not possible. It was deemed that those were inherently conflicting positions—working for another level of government and then getting onto a port board.
Is there a specific case or is this, as Mr. Bachrach said, simply a matter of expanding the qualified pool of...? I would assume that, up near the port of Prince Rupert, there are many qualified candidates, and not all of them work for the government or different levels of government.
What is the impetus for this change, and why is it necessary to include new provisions that allow for employees who were previously considered ineligible because of an inherent conflict? Why is this being done?
