Mr. Volpe mentioned Glen Murray, the former mayor of Winnipeg, who was appointed and then scrutinized very heavily and perhaps in an overly partisan way at a committee. One may make that argument.
But the truth is that the creation of this commission, or frankly, the appointment of you and this very regionally balanced and very politically balanced commission to examine the process--not the actual individual appointees, but the process--to ensure that there is a fair approach to this is in fact, in my judgment, and I sit on the Bill C-2 legislative committee, an effort by this government to frankly rejuvenate the appointments process, not necessarily the individuals, to ensure that there is a fair and balanced arm's-length process and that the process itself is being scrutinized at arm's-length, so that those who step forward and are being considered for very important appointments aren't tainted by the partisanship associated with making important appointments to public offices.
I think that's essentially what's crucial here. Is that how you view the importance of this new policy?
