Mr. Speaker, I believe the vast majority of appointments, even when controversial ones have popped up, have been good people doing good things for Canadians. However, that type of appointment process lends itself to some degree of political meddling, corruption and also influence from the outside.
I have been in Ottawa for almost 19 years now, and I have seen a number of different stories played out over the years that give me concern. It is a legitimate concern in this bill, and it also can change with the governments that handle the appointment process. It is something of concern worth talking about.
With regard to who is on those committees and tribunals, it is about the length of time and the types of people on it. Only one of three to six tribunal members would need to have privacy law experience, and that is one specific example of my concern. These are very technical things to deal with.
