Why don ' t you go look for yourself . Stop being a sheep . <| sep |> Commissioner Aditya Jha , a technology entrepreneur who lives in Toronto , voted to carry on but cautiously . He said he ' d never seen a job description for an NCC board member , but he assumes he ' s there for his business expertise . Commissioner Denys Rivard , a Montrealbased former IBM executive , simply admitted he doesn ' t know enough to have an opinion . I would abstain , myself , because I don ' t have the knowledge enough of the city , environment , the players , to say , ' It ' s right ' or ' It ' s wrong ', Rivard said . I have nothing against bringing people outside the Ottawa area to manage our National Capital Region , but is it that hard to get people who actually bother to do the work ?
