I support this act. The reason I support it is that we are setting a precedent here by amending the act to put in an independent board director and making that person a public servant. In doing this, we are opening the door to other groups in the Territories that are delivering programs for us to become public servants. I am really glad this has come forward because a lot of questions were brought up in the past under the Public Services Act, where we wouldn't be able to allow members of independent boards to become public servants. I would like to say I am really glad this section was put in there because it has opened the door to other public servants out there, although they are part of an independent body, they can become public servants. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. I didn't hear any question there. Is the committee ready for clause by clause?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We, in the House yesterday and a number of days before the session, talked about the Public Services Act. We were given an indication there is no avenue for including independent boards or bodies that are delivering program services for us to be included in the Public Service Act. As this has opened the door for others, I would like to ask the Justice Minister if he can work with his colleagues, the Minister responsible for the Public Service Act, if they can work in connection to include more of these good clauses in all the other acts? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Perhaps I will ask legislative counsel to provide a more detailed reply. Thank you.

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.
