RE: Stupid Is as Stupid DoesI certainly don't wish to speak for him - ask yourself - but I suspect that like all other Directors Michael was trying to get a handle on financial issues. He probably was a little more successful than the others who did not have similar training.
I don't know anything about the rules relating to approval of officer by the TSX. Sometimes approvals are like ratifications; they relate back to an earlier time, that is are retrospective. Sometimes they are not and sometimes they are for some purposes and not others. If your interested you can straighten all of this out. What I regard as important is the appointment, not the issues that seem to be of interest to you. I'm hoping that the reason for the appointment is the scale of the job has become bigger.
