I have two questions for the Minister of State. They are fairly straightforward. The first is on section 9 and the proposed new sections 13A and 13B about the appointment of the board. It says that the board will be appointed by the Minister and that the CEO will be subsequently appointed by the board. Why, in this case, is the CEO not appointed through the public appointments process?
