Its a concept that makes perfect sense, to have all views (both opposing and supporting) be part of the decision making process. This is vastly different to most political committees which nominate only members who share their viewpoint.
You want to complain about the Berman appointment being extremist.. but really it was one of the most centrist things that the NDP could do, because they didn't give power to either extreme, they let the extreme's share the load so that the result is a compromise that suits both.
That's how a government should work, listening to ALL sides, not just the ones you agree with.

What, like the covid panel made up of people who all agree with Smith? Ya, that's gonna be money well spent. Last thing Preston Manning needs is more public tax dollars in his pockets.
