I think the intent of this motion is very clear. The Beatty report recommends that consideration be given to some major changes in government created boards and agencies. It not only recommends changes to the organization of certain boards, but also to the whole way of thinking about such bodies. These changes will require considerable discussion and review if they are to be made in a sound and reasonable fashion.
We believe that during this review period it will be important not to make additional appointments to boards and agencies. It would neither be fair nor good management practice to be making board appointments when the whole system is under review.
The committee is recommending that appointments be postponed until after March 31, 1992. If it is absolutely necessary for these appointments to be made, then we are suggesting that any appointments or reappointments be made for the shortest term possible. Mahsi cho, Mr. Chairman.
