Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Commissioner, for being here today.
You commented earlier that you're often reporting to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House affairs. I have the privilege of serving on that committee.
I recall a couple of weeks ago that you commented about this matter of having people from the private sector come to serve in the public sector. At that point you were very clear in pointing out the value of having these kinds of people serve here, and I think Canadians are generally very grateful that someone of Mr. Wright's calibre and credentials would offer to serve Canada in this way. Of course, we need to be sure that the guidelines and rules are followed, but I do believe, as you indicated, that we could actually be overly zealous in our efforts to follow the rules and actually discourage people like Mr. Wright from coming to serve here.
I'm glad you're here. Your comments were that we're doing well with the discussions in setting up the screens and that you're finding good cooperation from Mr. Wright. I think Canadians are happy about that.
I just want to refer to your remarks this afternoon. At the top of page 3 of your prepared remarks in English, under the heading, “Investigations”, you go on to use the term “examinations” at least eight times on that page and you never come back to the word “investigation”. Are we using those terms interchangeably or is there a major difference between your use of the words “investigation” and “examination”? Could you discuss that?
