I haven't finished.
My convictions have been shaken by the remarks of Mr. Poilievre, who said that criteria absolutely had to be included because, otherwise, primary substitute teachers, or I don't know who would be hired to occupy these offices.
I'd like to ask our experts to give us the hiring criteria for the Auditor General, the Commissioner of Official Languages, the Chief Electoral Officer, the Privacy Commissioner, the Information Commissioner and the Chairman of the Public Service Commission.
I believe there are no criteria, except common sense, and that that must be accepted, upon consultation with the party leaders. To date, we've never had any duds occupying those offices.
Am I wrong? That might inform the debate.
