Thank you very much, sir.
This is your statement: “The goal in drafting the act from start to finish was to create as much accountability and scrutiny as possible, and if you want people”—I think this is so key, sir—“to be satisfied that the right decisions were made, then you have to have processes that are completely transparent.”
Thank you for that statement.
Would it then be reasonable to assume that, if we limit the scope of this committee in our mandate to just, as has been mentioned, simply narrowing it to the exercise of authority pursuant to the declaration of the act, we will be limiting our transparency and something the Canadian public demands of us?
