I would like to support the Chair's comments. I think a recommendation from the committee should carry more than just that. I welcome the Minister's commitment to review it and I also share the Chair's passion for it. Community representation is not exactly the same as democratic local authority representation. I would like to see local authority representation on ETB boards. Previously, VECs have served us well. It is not just a tradition but something that has stood the test of time. I would like to see it continued and not eroded.
