Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is my understanding that this clause is needed within this act so as to allow the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation to appoint the president. If this clause were not in the act, it would be the Government Leader or the Commissioner and Executive Council on the recommendation of the Government Leader who would be responsible for making deputy minister level appointments. This clause is in to allow the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation to make those appointments.
