I have to remind you that it is your legislation, not mine. In fact, I will be voting against the legislation and have done so so far. Seeing that the selection panel does not include a wheat grower and the board that it will select might not necessarily include a wheat grower either, can you please tell me what qualifications you see as being essential, or is it the case that no qualifications will be required? If qualifications are not required, are there going to be any criteria to ascertain experience, and are you going to table them so that we can have a transparent look at the selection criteria process by which the board members will be selected? That is a good enough start.
