The most common?
Mr. Chair, if the member is asking what disability conditions are brought most before the board, those will be the back, the knees, the neck, hearing, and lastly, psychological conditions.
If I recall correctly, one part of your question had to do with the criteria for appointments. I think that in 2005-2006, a new system to identify the best candidates was established. We have a system of applications that have been received. They are examined in order to hire someone in human resources who is independent from the department and even our board. Next, we look for people with medical, legal or military experience. Then, interested applicants must complete a rather detailed exam. The third part of the process involves interviews. Last week, we completed another cycle of individuals who applied to be on our board.
