Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The standing committee was also aware that smooth operation within the board depends on continuity of membership. Historically there have been periods when all appointments have been due to expire concurrently. A wholesale turnover of board members is not in the best interests of the organization. Should board members reach a point in their tenure when they become better suited to meet challenges elsewhere, the organizational framework should provide the Minister with the ability to not renew their appointments, while still maintaining confidence in the continuity of the board. This can be achieved by staggering the appointment dates so that board members' terms overlap each other. It is unnecessary to reflect this practice in legislation, but rather for the Legislative Assembly to provide it as a general principle to be followed by the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board. Therefore, the third motion, Mr. Chairman:
Motion To Accept Recommendation 3, Carried
I move that the Minister responsible for the Workers' Compensation Board make appointments so that no more than 50 per cent of the members' terms will expire in any one fiscal year.
