I read what was said in the opening statement about the process and the consultations undertaken in the appointment and make-up of the new board. Will the witnesses tell us a little bit more about the numbers to be appointed by affiliates and by the Minister? When is it proposed to have a more democratic board in place?

With a view to that, the last time Mr. Dowling was with us he said he would set out on a campaign across the country to talk to all the affiliates. At the time, he had met two of them. How many he has met in person now and how are those meetings going?
