I would like the commissioner's office to have access to an independent funding mechanism, where a process is put in place, as is the case for other agents of Parliament who are completely independent. That way, we could appear before the committee or before a committee that is specially created for that purpose to present our financial needs and report on our spending. We would be accountable directly to Parliament rather than to the government of the day.
