Whitehouse

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This has two purposes. First, that the DEA is considered to be a corporation so there has to be a formal recognition of the resignation of what would technically be considered a director of that corporation.

Secondly, there is nothing to prevent the scenario that the Member has explained from happening; where a person may verbally indicate that they may be resigning in the future and formally submit a written resignation in that future time, and when they would actually submit the written resignation, that is when they would be considered as ceasing to hold office. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Ms. Whitehouse. Would that include it being dated for a certain date? Would that be the official date? Ms. Whitehouse.

Whitehouse

Mr. Chairman, yes. If the letter was dated for the meeting at which the letter was received, then it would take effect from that date.

I guess the way it's written is confusing. I'm trying to get it clear. The way I read it, the literal interpretation is when a trustee comes to a meeting, brings his letter and tables it at that meeting, he is effectively struck off the list at that meeting. That's what I read that to say, when the resignation is received. The individual may be diligent in what he's doing and doesn't want to leave until a month from that date, or two meetings from then. I just want to make sure we're clear and that trustees don't get caught up in the terminology of this section.

Sorry, Mr. Chairman, I was trying to think here. One has to realize that if a letter is dated and legally received on a particular date, then based on most normal corporate organizations, that's the date you have resigned. If you indicate in the letter that you're going to resign on another date, that's another issue. I don't understand. I would like to see what it is like for other corporations that have been set up, I guess.

Thank you. Clause 93. I'm still pondering clause 91. Clause 92.(b) reads "not be eligible to be a candidate." Where is the criteria for who is eligible to be a candidate?
