Library and Archives has their mandate and they have their budget. If they are making decisions on either the code of conduct question or the allocation question, and if you want to ask them about how they backfill and go forward with the existing budgets and whether they can do it, if you think that's a priority, then that's exactly what parliamentary committees are for: to bring in the heads of agencies who are making decisions at arm's length from me—the law prevents me from telling them what to do and what not to do—and that's precisely what I would encourage you to do.
If you put that motion before the committee, I think you would have a favourable outcome.
