Mr. Philippe Dufresne at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I do. I think as agents of Parliament we report to you; we don't report to the executive branch. In fact, we investigate complaints against the executive branch.

In my case, there may be a difference vis-à-vis my private sector mandate—I have both public sector and private sector mandates. There may be less of a concern vis-à-vis the investigation of the private sector, but vis-à-vis the investigation of the public sector, there is that appearance of concern.
