One thing that's clear in my past, my career in the public sector, is that I am not territorial. Another thing that's clear is that I do abide by the law, however, as it exists. I have an open mind. If I'm appointed, I will of course, once we both have been briefed, if Ms. Bélanger is appointed.... We will meet and we will discuss the operations of each of our offices.
If we come to the conclusion that it would be more effective or more attuned to serve the public office holders and Canadians at large, I can assure you that I have an open mind vis-à-vis reorganization and restructuring, because structures should serve the purpose, as opposed to the opposite. Structures are there to serve a purpose. If they prove to be inadequate, then they should be changed. Of course, it would be for the government or the House of Commons and the Senate to decide whether to change those structures.
