Well, I'm not up to the stickhandling of that family.
Welcome, Mr. Conacher and Mr. McCandless. Both of you have stressed that whistle-blowers must be protected.
Mr. McCandless, you've talked about a culture of responsibility. You've also focused, it appears at least to me, on that culture of responsibility being entrenched in two ways, one according to legislation through the deputy minister being the financially accountable officer, and you go one step further in completing the accountability loop by having that officer take what you've described as responsibility for reporting on his or her whistle-blowing record in terms of any incidents of inappropriate financial conduct or otherwise coming before that officer in carrying on duties.
I wonder if you could expand on that, because you go one step further and you say that officer should report to Parliament through a special committee. You know this committee is wrestling with how you increase the oversight of the committee system, or some part of the parliamentary structure, and how you complete the accountability loop in reporting directly to Parliament.
Could you expand on that just a little bit more, please, for the committee?
