Obviously, the Commissioner's mandate will depend on what Parliament tells the Commissioner to do.
The Commissioner's present role is more like that of the Auditor General. Ultimately, the Commissioner must comply with certain provisions of the act, but the other duties, as well as the audits that the Commissioner tables in Parliament, depend on the mandate given to the Auditor General.
If another agency or independent entity were created, that would concern more questions of advice on policy and program evaluation, things that we cannot do.
