Mr. Chairman, I appreciate Mr. Carney's attempt to avoid answering the question, but I will clarify it again. He has expressed his disappointment with respect to this question, and I will express my disappointment regarding his attempt to dodge it.
I did in fact begin my question by saying that I had absolutely no doubts whatsoever about the competence of Mr. Hodgson, quite the opposite. However, Mr. Carney is avoiding the issue by claiming that Mr. Hodgson is serving the public and has put his assets in a blind trust. That has nothing to do with the matter. Moreover, he is certainly no theorist or professor. This is somebody who has come from the private sector, who is going to have an intimate knowledge about this new structure, he is going to have designed it, and he will be able to go back to the private sector through a revolving door, unless I have misunderstood. If the Governor of the Bank of Canada is telling us that I am mistaken, that Mr. Hodgson will not be going back to work in the private sector, I will offer him an abject apology, but I understood from the beginning that he would be spending 18 months with the Bank of Canada and that he could then go back to the private sector. That is what concerns me, as far as perception goes, Mr. Chairman.
