new CEO

I have to agree with you totally.
I think this so called letter of potential dismissal of Measoner is fabricated by the CWB.
In corporate life you don't publically muse or hint of firing someone.
What happens is the security guards come in the office give you notice of firing. 15 minutes to clean out your desk. A toll free number to call HR and get your package. An escort out of the building.

Jackflash,

Here are the "facts" from a DTN Report:

I assume Points 1-4 are being responded to in 5. by CWB Minister Strahl's office.

1. "The process to remove Adrian has started," said Deanna Allen, the CWB's vice president of communications and public relations."

2. "Measner was sent a letter on Wednesday that said the government was contemplating what to do with his appointment, Allen said."

3. "The letter asked for any information Measner could give the government that could help in this matter, Allen said."

She added that Measner was given a deadline of Dec. 14 to respond to Strahl's letter, which was similar to a letter received by former government-appointed CWB director Ross Keith, shortly before he was fired.

4. "We fully expect that within hours or days of Dec. 14, the government will officially terminate his appointment," Allen said. She added that Measner spoke with CWB employees on Thursday and told them that he will be removed by the government.

According to Allen, officials in Minister Strahl's office have indicated that there is already a short-list of replacement candidates for Measner."

5. Meanwhile, Conrad Bellehumeur, Strahl's director of communications, said the letter to Measner doesn't constitute notice of termination. Rather, "that letter is basically a letter so that the Minister can be confident that his appointees, in this case Mr. Measner is an appointee, actively support the government's position on marketing choice."

Re #5, makes me wonder what the responsibilities of the board are given the minister sets the corporation and CEO's goals and vision to accomplish?

Seems 2 possibilities, the board is of no real value, or the Minister is confused. I'll go with box #1.
