Mr. Speaker, as I understand the legislation, the panel is appointed which is available to be activated should there be a complaint under the act. What I am telling the honourable Member is Dr. Covert had been appointed in the capacity to head that panel for some years. What my letter did was refer a specific matter to him and activated the panel for the purpose of holding an inquiry. His appointment predated that specific action as did other members of the panel as well. It is a matter of activating a panel that was in place. That is what the appointment did, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
