Mr. Ferguson, I cannot assume what the outcome will be of the vote in the House or in the Senate, but based on the comments we've heard so far, your appointment may not be unanimous. There are five political parties represented in Parliament. Three of them are officially recognized. Based on the comments made so far by the parliamentarians, four of the five parties represented in the House will not be supporting your nomination.
The Auditor General is an agent of Parliament and it is not a government position. I cannot assume how the vote will turn out, but if the indications we have are correct, the only party represented in the House that would support you would be the governmental party.
Do you have any comments on that?
