I think in the greater spirit of transparency.... These are unique agencies that we are talking about here. These are not just public servants. These people have oversight over the elected members of Parliament. They hold a unique position. In fact, the Chief Electoral Officer isn't even allowed to vote. That's how unique these positions are.
It's important that the public and members of Parliament have the level of confidence that people who stand in judgment upon them are non-partisan. They take the oath, according to the Public Service Employment Act, that they must be non-partisan. This is consistent with their oath. This is about more information being available to members of Parliament, to people who are elected, and to the people who send them there, the voters, the constituents.
More information is better. More transparency is better. More accountability is better. It's in the interests of everyone.
