Well, that certainly has been the finding of my predecessors so far. I'm somewhat in the same situation as you are, sir. When I was appointed, I knew very, very little about the CSE, and even less about the commissioner's role, except that it had been filled by people I knew. So I guess it is, to some extent, an illustration that the system appears to be working quite well.
