Two newly appointed members of Manitoba Hydro’s board of directors could potentially see their terms expire in mere weeks, although the government says its intention is for them to serve longer.
According to a March 22 cabinet order, now posted on the government’s website, the terms of filmmaker Lisa Meeches and former Manitoba Home Builders’ Association president Michael Moore are set to expire May 3, just six weeks after they were appointed.
However, Joey Dearborn, a spokesman for Crown Services Minister Cliff Cullen, said the new board members are assuming the terms of those they are replacing.
“We understand the terms for the members identified may seem short, but they will be renewed before the expiration,” Dearborn said in an email Wednesday.
The provincial cabinet scrambled to name five new board members last Thursday, after all but one member of the Hydro board resigned. They said they had been unable to secure a meeting with Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister to address “a number of critical issues” facing the Crown corporation.
The same cabinet order says new Hydro chairwoman Marina James’ term is set to expire May 3, 2019. The terms of two other new board members are set to expire May 3, 2021.
