Absolutely. Perhaps I will say two things. One is that before my life at Finance, I worked for the Canada Revenue Agency. What I will say is that, certainly, although the Income Tax Act does refer to the Minister of National Revenue, that authority is delegated to the commissioner, who subdelegates it down to the officials level.
As you do your work—I worked in the registered charities area—it is the director general who has final say on these issues of registration decisions, and it's generally done at the officials level with the recognition that sometimes you brief on sensitive issues. That said, in terms of these particular measures, the decision to establish an independent body is born out of a recognition that the decision-making associated with journalism organizations is particularly sensitive. The intent is for there to be an independent mechanism to prevent exactly what's being discussed today: to prevent any accusations that the government is interfering with journalism organizations and to protect those organizations themselves from that type of potential interference.
That's why it is set out as such. I think there are legitimate concerns that have been raised. Unfortunately, we don't have the answers to give you as to who that independent body will be and how it will work, but certainly I can point to what was announced and what the intent is for that.
