Thank you, Mr. Kramp.
Just before we go to Mr. Christopherson, I'm going to ask you to elaborate on that last statement a little bit, Ms. Fraser, because it is important. Your term is up on May 31 next year. Under our legislation there's no mechanism for you to be renewed or extended, so there will be a transition. I echo everything Mr. Kramp said about you and your office.
The pool of qualified candidates would not be large. I would have thought that this process would have been well under way by now, and you're saying it's just going to start soon. There's a role for Parliament; there's a role for the opposition parties, the opposition leaders. And I know when you were appointed, there was a very seamless transition from Monsieur Desautels to you. Can you elaborate any further on that? You did say that you expect the process will start soon, but are there any more details to that? I think it would be problematic if there was nothing done when your term was up and they appointed an interim auditor, and I don't think that would be good for Canada and it wouldn't be good for your office. Are there any other details you can elaborate on?
