it's true. But I don't even know if democracy is even needed in this context. By electing them you give them some separation from the provincial executive and they feel they have the warrant to do what they feel is right in the public interest. Yet their mandate is given by such a small fraction of the population that the democratic angle fails, and they are certainly not elected for their ability to manage multimillion dollar infrastructure. They should be directly under the direction of truly elected members, or these functions should be stripped away and their jobs should be narrowed.
