A quick count reveals that we have 6 union reps, 9 big business reps, 10 business bureaucrats, 6 consultants/lawyers/accountants, 2 small and medium businesses, and two politicians.
Having served with great hope on such advisory councils under previous NDP governments, I know from experience that many are tokens only, so our contributor does not need to feel too bad that so many sectors have been overlooked.
Perhaps there will be other opportunities for citizens to make their sector voices heard. We can only hope. – Ed.
