Mr. Chairman, last summer, when I became interim commissioner, I published a statement indicating my plan with regard to systemic investigations.
Through these systemic investigations, I was to deal more specifically with the matter of consultations and extensions granted by various departments, because I was of the belief that the performance report cards were insufficient with regard to providing us with all of the necessary information.
Subsequently, as you know, several allegations of political interference landed on my desk; I received several complaints. Indeed, I have three specific inquiries under way. Given that there were several allegations in this area, I decided to include this under my systemic investigation that I will be launching anytime now. In essence, I will have to consult the same documents in order to study this matter. The documentary evidence will be the same, but given that I only have enough resources for one investigation, I am including this under the same umbrella.
