Mr. Speaker, the whole issue of the board and how it is going to resolve disputes or complaints is very important.
Let us look at the parole board. It is an appointed body. The Immigration and Refugee Board is another appointed body. I believe the CRTC falls in the same category. There are numerous other ad hoc appointments, crown prosecutors for one. Now we are looking at an agricultural board. Each one has a similar problem.
How much more accountable is the minister without the board than the board having no accountability to the minister? The ministers across the way time and time again have stated that they cannot intervene or interfere with a quasi-judicial body and the matters are never resolved.
What makes the hon. member think this board will not suffer from the same problem that all other quasi-judicial bodies under the government suffer?
