Governance is an issue that has preoccupied many observers and people involved here. We do not need to dwell too long on the nomination committee. This exercise is an opportunity for the witnesses to note what is of concern and we will not be resolving the issues today. This is a pre-legislative process that is to raise flags and draw the attention of this committee and the Minister to the issues. The nomination committee is concerned with the approval of the regulator and the witnesses have concerns about delays.
