I think mine will be a little shorter than that, or it will require a little less than five minutes, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Dantzer, thank you very much for being here. I hope you're not taken aback by the simplicity of my question, because I very much appreciate the professional development that has taken place with respect to the checks and balances, the understanding of how policy development works with policy implementation, and the dividing line between that. We should all respect what our roles are.
My question is really a very simple one, and it's from the perspective of professionalism. What would be your view on the $1,000 mechanism with respect to whistle-blowers? Do you think that is a fundamental ingredient of the legislation? Would you provide us with an opinion on that? I know there may be a difference of opinion in terms of the relevancy and the need for that in a very well-defined and an accountable civil service as it relates to our parliamentary system.
