Given the problems of recruiting someone suitable, perhaps the position should be given a level equivalent to that of independent parliamentary officers, at least to guarantee the remuneration. I just want to see whether, under the current act—because you are remaining within the framework of the act—a recommendation to that effect could theoretically be taken up by the speakers of the two chambers, and if the two speakers could decide to raise the classification of the PBO position to solve the problem. But do you believe that the act would necessarily have to be amended?
