I have a question. Possibly one of you technical experts can answer this. Is the Chief Electoral Officer subject to audits by the Public Service Commission? I know the Public Service Commission does audits of the appointment, hiring, selection--you name it--process of, for instance, the Auditor General. So I would assume so, but I would like to know if my assumption is based on fact. Because in that case, I would have less of a problem with the Bloc amendment, because I would be assured there would be an external independent audit of whatever process the Chief Electoral Officer put into place for this external appointment process.
