Minister, I find it very hard to believe that the department will have on hand a list of names of people they think will fill this role. All jobs must be advertised, and on a fair and democratic basis, people should be able to apply for these positions. Where are the names going to come from in the first place? Someone's got to present those names. It's got to be either the minister or the department that is going to present these names. Why isn't this opened up to the best eligible people around the country who may apply for a position to work on the board? Why isn't it open for anyone to apply for this?
