Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there have been vacancies on the Appeals Tribunal, but we have been filling those vacancies by way of appointments. The Member sort of touches on one area, but there are also vacancies in the areas of employee representatives. There is a public interest representative. There is also the worker's representative, and also to ensure we have balance. We also realize that this board represents Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. In order to get that balance, you have to make decisions to ensure you have geographical makeup on this board. So, again, that is basically the appointments that have been out there. With those vacancies that are being filled, it is through an application-based program. In most cases, they are appointed in those categories; not only the worker's representative, like the Member has mentioned.
