But it seems to me, Minister, that if you were that concerned with transparency and accountability, you would have wanted to ensure that these appointments were done with the new accountability act in place, with some of these measures in place, and not appoint 150 or 175 people prior to putting in these new dispositions. It seems to me that would be a fair expectation for members of Parliament to expect of you.
