Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, the Minister is correct, because it uses the word "may." You know, the Minister may establish a board. But we're talking about the spirit and the intent of the act. Because what's evolved out of this process of once the board has dissolved, he's right; the trustee has been made trustee for life. It's time that we get on and appoint a public board. The spirit and the intent of the act does not describe sort of a relationship where the Minister should sit as the board chair. So, Mr. Speaker, maybe the Minister could then refer to me where this is not considered a conflict, whereas he's the Minister, the overall seer of the board through the act, and so sitting as a chairperson how could we not see this through the act that he is in conflict? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
