I have not found it affects the work I've had to conduct. In terms of the office I set up, obviously I had to replace myself, so I have a director of investigations in place. One of the things required by the act, or which I felt I needed to do as an agent of Parliament, was to hire a lawyer, which I've done in the six months. I've had a briefing binder prepared for a new commissioner coming in, and when I was reappointed for the next six months, we updated the binder.
In making decisions, I'm aware that a commissioner may come in, so I'm not making any drastic decisions in terms of organizational changes, but it hasn't stopped me, for example, from granting exemption requests. I granted one exemption request, which is already on the system.
In terms of the report you were asking me about, I think the report would be the same if there were a commissioner in place. Would it go further? Perhaps.
