Thank you. I apologize, I forgot we had called question on this particular motion, Mr. Chairman. However, I thank you for allowing me to speak to the motion. Mr. Chairman, subsection 6.2 would increase the size of the appeal committee because currently the chairperson designates the members who should hear the appeal. I think there were concerns regarding this from Members. The other point which I want to make is that this particular chairperson would also take away the area of concern of Members with regard to the quorum, where it states, "A chairperson of an appeal committee shall, for each appeal, designate not fewer than three and not more than five members of the appeal committee to sit as a panel of the appeal committee, and shall direct the panel to hear the appeal." What we are saying is that the statutory act will look after the quorum part of this and, perhaps, legal counsel can explain more explicitly how that act will look after the quorum portion of this particular panel.
There were two concerns by Members, particularly in respect to the quorum and this clause is to address the quorum part of this particular bill. It will also automatically look at the appeal committee in its totality.
