But it seems to me that if we move to a system in which you have to have your work plans approved and you are able to follow up on requests from members of Parliament—things that don't happen today—you are then much more working at the will of the parliamentarians. I see that many of the reports you put out today are reports that you initiate, and you don't have to ask us before doing them. I think you're doing them on behalf of Canadians. It would seem to me that many of these proposals would move the PBO from its independent role working on behalf of Canadians to being almost the servants of parliamentarians.
