It would be a very different round table, I think. I suppose it would be possible.
I don't know how you'd make it accountable or answerable to Parliament. I'm not sure how that would work.
The other question is, could an independent commissioner also have these sorts of outreach opportunities that could allow them to gain these points of view from different players in the policy community?
That's what the U.K. commission does, but the U.K. Sustainable Development Commission came out of the round table in the U.K. It reports, again, directly to the Prime Minister and to the ministers. So there's more of a two-way relationship there between the executive leadership of the government and people who are doing research in those areas.
I don't see that there would necessarily be a lot of overlap, particularly if the two entities were noticing what each other was doing and presumably would choose to focus on different things or work collaboratively on some projects in terms of doing forward research.
