I refer you to clause 40, which says:

WEA consists of the following members:
(a)
a Chair;
(b)
at least 3, and not more than 5, other members.

Is it possible, Minister, that the five members and the chair could be people who all come from business, all come from law, all come from international marketing, whatever that may be, and that you could have a board that includes nobody from the wheat industry? It is quite simple. It is either yes or no.
