I am very impressed to be meeting with you. You are a wise man who managed to navigate through many things in order to be able to table this report which, as you were saying earlier, somewhat landed in a hole.
I would like to come back to the fundamental problem you were talking about earlier, namely the imbalance between the executive and legislative branches of government. You stated that power is more and more concentrated on the executive side and that you are somewhat exasperated by the expansion of the Prime Minister's Office. That is also our feeling, as a matter of fact. Unelected political staff are not subject to rules, which leaves the door wide open to political interference.
For some months now, this committee has been subjected to interference on the part of the PMO. What should we be doing, in your view, in order to put a stop to this interference from staff and officials?
