Yes. The reason, of course, is that I'm appointed under the Parliament of Canada Act. My mandate is very deliberately and clearly made totally independent of the government, which is why there's no direct relationship.
You know, I really can't tell you very much about what happens in the Speaker's office when we send our estimates. We send them and they're always sent forward to Treasury Board, and I don't know what happens in the interval. We have never had any push-back of any sort, so I've never had occasion to deal with problems.
