Mr. Speaker, let me welcome my colleague to his new role.
Our government has put in place a new appointment process which supports open, transparent, and merit-based selection processes. It was this process that was used to appoint Canada's new chief science advisor, about which our colleague from Beauce said, “I read your biography and I believe, like all my colleagues do, that you're an excellent choice.”
The member opposite can expect that the same rigorous process can be followed to ensure that all board appointees are qualified and reflect Canada.
