What I meant is that the organization—just like, for example, within the Minister of Justice portfolio you have the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, so it's the equivalent in the sense that this person is, yes, reporting through the Minister of Justice but is operating at arm's length.
If you look at section 9 of the legislation, it says:
The Chief Administrator is the chief executive officer of the Service and has the control and management of the Service and all matters connected with it.
So it gives full authority to this person to manage the service.
