My questions are brief as some have been asked already. The Minister stated that the new office will encourage fairness and transparency in the agrifood sector, which is a good news story. The information I have indicates that the board will be appointed by the Minister and consist of a chairperson and five ordinary members. Will the Minister appoint the board directly?
