There would be no differentiation made with respect to the pre-appointment background check. But the department for which the minister or the individual works would then be responsible for doing the security clearance check. That is very different from the pre-appointment check. The pre-appointment check is only on the individual. With the security clearance, depending on what that individual's role is within the department, they may have a different level of security clearance. Different levels of security clearance require different checks to be conducted.
So the security clearance checks are much more robust, if you will, than the pre-appointment background checks to the extent that they include checks on family members, spouses, children, brothers, sisters, neighbourhood checks, and so on. It's a much more complete background check. But that's the responsibility of the department itself.
