In my own experience, when I was being appointed in March 2008 and came to this very room in front of different committees, when committee members found out that I had worked for this Prime Minister—and these were different committees—they were concerned that I wouldn't be non-partisan. I don't think people are as worried about that particular issue right now.
In terms of the future, which is where I think your question is going, Mrs. Nash, I have a little less than a year left doing this job, and there are three people at the front of this table who I think would be excellent candidates. It would be much better if they were appointed by a broader process, if they were only dismissed by cause, this office would have a chance to continue and grow and serve all parliamentarians.
