Mr. Speaker, in the last couple of hours, members mostly from the Conservative benches have been talking about experience and that experience does matter. They raised a lot of concerns.
I wonder if the member could reflect on the types of individuals who are receiving these appointments. More often than not they are individuals such as correctional officers and law enforcement officers, and they bring a great deal of real-life experience. Prior to them actually hearing a case, it is the vice-chair who has the programming, which has not changed in terms of training. Before the individuals can deal with these matters they have to be approved to do so.
Is my colleague trying to imply that this individual is not doing his job?
