The Stacking of a Citizen's Advisory Group

Vic Derman, vice-chair of the CRD’s planning, transportation, and protective services committee was quoted in yesterday's Oak Bay News:

“If somebody said, ‘I’m definitely against this’ or ‘I’m definitely for this’ … there’s probably a little bit of detriment of being on the (deer advisory) committee,” Derman said.
“Everybody will have some personal opinion prior to going in but the hope, for me at least, is that we picked people who would be willing to put that aside, listen to all the evidence, and come up with what, in their view, is the best possible answer.”

Derman added that he tried not to select applicants who had already publicly voiced their opinions on the issue.


He must not have been watching A Channel on August 10, 2011.  Meet Wendy Fox, one of the CAG members.
