No, I don't think I felt hampered in terms of administering the legislation because of the knowledge of the act and the code and having been with the particular organization since 2004. I felt confident with what I had put in place in terms of processes, and the reports that I was able to use to make decisions were well documented and comprehensive. During that first six-month period I engaged legal counsel to help with providing advice. When I made decisions I felt they were independent, impartial, and well-founded. Now with the seven-year mandate—if you want to look at constraints—I know I can move ahead and look at planning resources and better integrating human resources and business planning.
