When I was reading your testimony, I was thinking.... I'm from Ontario, and I actually knew both of the previous commissioners, in fact one of them ran against me in Guelph for a federal seat.
They did get into policy a lot, and I think to their detriment, when the provincial government really thought they were being addressed by them in terms of policy versus finding other ways to manage policy.
The danger of getting into politics is that one of the things as we're looking forward is 2050 goals, 2030 goals. We have to get through the changes in the political cycle through some type of an independent oversight, and I think that's what we're discussing today.
We will hear from the new commissioner and we will hear from the Auditor General. Both of them have said in the other committee that they like the structure, they like the way that they can work with the provinces and territories.
Maybe I could pivot onto provinces and territories with Mr. Fauteux on the New Zealand example, and whether there's some types of jurisdictional questions we have that they don't have.
