Tom this is what I was refering too, again nothing against Cam Dahl he might be wonderful but I do prefer the terms hired and elected over appouinted. ( despite the fact I myself have been appointed a time our two)
From the compass report
We recommend the creation of a single President/CEO/Chief
Commissioner, supported by Vice-Presidents and other senior
executives, for reasons explored at length in the body of the report.
�� The Canadian Grain Commission has six “Assistant Commissioners.”
The continuance of these ambiguously defined positions is in our
estimation incompatible with principles of modern government. For
reasons of clarity, we recommend creation in their place of an Office of
Grain Farmer Advocacy with a mandate to ensure that farmers
understand their rights under the Act and to advocate for them in
disputes with handlers, the CGC, or other stakeholders. The future of this
Office and its budget should be evaluated every three years on the basis
of evidence for the need of its services as shown in annual surveys of
farmer behaviour, knowledge, and perceptions undertaken by Agriculture
and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). As an alternative to an Office of Grain
Farmer Advocacy, we would recommend that AAFC hold a competition inviting proposals from non-governmental organizations, to supply such
services.
