Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The purpose of expanding the committee is probably to address the issue of a quorum, however I cannot understand why the quorum only constitutes three members. Generally a quorum is a majority of the composition of a board and the majority should be four, if not four plus one so you do not get a tie vote. I am wondering as to why the quorum is not increased. The members are increased according to the old act, yet the quorum is not increased. Thank you.
