I'm a tad surprised by the question, in that it implies that the Privy Council Office has been resisting changes. That is not my understanding of what transpired following the discussions that took place and what you will find in Bill C-2.
PCO has a role to play, like any other department, but we are not in charge of this area or responsible for making decisions at the end of the day. Let's always bring this back to what it is. We're providing advice to the government that is completely non-partisan, and the political overlay and decisions are made by ministers. I am able to answer the question of what; it's much more difficult for me to answer why we are doing this or that.
