Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Lafferty is right in the sense that the status of the executive director of the Legal Services Board is being clarified by this statute, and it is now clear that that person will now be a member of the public service. The act was somewhat ambiguous before but it was probably on a better reading that executive director should not have been included in the public service before this amendment. However, the staff of the Legal Services Board were previously members of the public service and continue to be members of the public service. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
