I am open to being convinced by the Minister that three commissioners would be better than one, but wonder about decisiveness in that context. If two commissioners were strongly to hold polar opinions on a matter and the third could not make up his or her mind and abstained, it might not be possible for a decision to be reached. While the Minister feels three commissioners would be better than one, I continue to have reservations. If the three can come to proper decisions, that will accord with what we all want.
