Thank you for being with us and bringing your very wide range of expertise from a background in a number of important areas of this statute.
I have just two quick areas I'd like your opinion on. One involves your comments on the Public Appointments Commission. From my take of people's comments around this table, there is a lot of support for that. It's how it's structured and where it's housed.
I wonder if, with appropriate amendments to the Public Service Employment Act, the president of the Public Service Commission would be appointed as an agent or officer of Parliament with the necessary criteria and purposes put in that act.
Would the commission have valuable skills and a broader mandate that could be brought to bear on this important process?
My second point is with respect to legislating a code of conduct for members of Parliament and whether that can open up a protective connection between members of Parliament and the courts. If that is in legislation, an alleged breach or a decision of a breach may be subject to judicial review, and I wonder whether that in some way offends the constitutional independence of those branches.
