So if you take away those characteristics, which is contemplated in amendment BQ-8, you then take away the quasi-judicial status of that commissioner's decisions. In other words, his decisions would not have the same legal weight.
The Bloc amendment takes away power from the ethics commissioner and opens up the job to patronage and political insidership in a way that this act was meant to avoid. So we need these qualifications here in order to defend the very legal status of the quasi-judicial decisions that this Ethics Commissioner is being empowered with. We need these qualifications here to avoid the kind of cronyism and patronage that this bill is specifically designed to avoid.
I'll conclude on that point.
