I welcome the witnesses. To return to the board, given the potential importance of it and the office, the ICMSA questioned the size of the board and a quorum of just three. The number of members that should be on the board has been raised on a number of occasions but when asked about the size of the board, the Minister referred to setting up subcommittees and the whole lot. Is it reasonable, in Mr. McCormack's opinion, to have such a small board with six members and all these subcommittees? Should the board be bigger? Three seems a small number for a quorum for such an important office.
