Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to our committee meeting, Mr. DeBeer.
From what you have said, I understand that you have no intention of commenting on Mrs. Keen's case. Is that correct? Thank you.
In that case, I will ask you a more general question, and your response will help to enlighten us so that we might move from a general discussion to something more specific, namely, federal organizations that are at arm's length from Parliament or from the government.
Are you happy with the current legislation whereby it is the governor in council who makes and revokes appointments? If the answer is no—since nothing in life is ever perfect—what would you add to improve the legislation for the benefit of the person who will be given the responsibility to head the organization, as well as for the benefit of the governor in council?
