Ms. Adam, the Commissioner of Official Languages, made it very clear that all officers reporting to the Auditor General were indeed independent and that politicians had no say in their actions or operations.
Over the past six years, Ms. Gélinas has always managed to do a very good job. Her work has been praised by all parties, whether it be the NDP, the Bloc Québécois, the Liberal Party or the Conservative Party. The problem arose on the day Ms. Gélinas perhaps...We'll never know what happened exactly, given the agreement between Ms. Fraser and Ms. Gélinas.
I'm still not convinced today of the need to move this position because in recent years, we have always had good results. No one disagrees with that. Today, the Liberals are proposing a change. To my mind, it's more a matter of having a different perspective on things. Quite frankly, I'm not convinced of the merits of the Liberals' motion.
As for Ms. Gélinas' report, while it has to be considered credible, admittedly, it is not completely objective, since Ms. Gélinas is the victim in this case.
