Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can you tell me, Mr. Chairman, how the Member could twist what he read in Hansard so late at night into feeling that I was blaming him and other MLAs for this particular situation is beyond me. That was not what I implied at all. It is set out very clearly that, that was the process that was used to solicit nominees to be put forward by the cabinet to make appointments. That is the process that has been used for years. We await nominees to come forward from MLAs. Surely the Member is not suggesting that I should, as Minister, just put forward whatever name I want or that the President of the Development Corporation should do that either. It has been a long established practice in this Legislature. That is the way we appoint board members to the many boards and agencies that we have. I have said it is the responsibility of Cabinet to make the appointments ultimately. If Cabinet has not been doing that then, I would probably take
the responsibility for not having helped Cabinet comply with the minimum requirements for appointments in the act. Thank you.
