MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there any discussion? Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.

DR. JAMES SMITH: Mr. Chairman, just a small point. Some of the forms aren't filled out properly. I think on Bonnie MacDonald's, it's just that she has been a member. She stated that in her letter of intent. It's a small point but it's just that it's being overlooked on some of these forms. I just point to Bonnie MacDonald's as being an example but not a big deal. I voted for her appointment.
