Mr. Chair, what I would say is that Privy Council Office is non-partisan. It is staffed by public servants. Our job is to provide neutral, non-partisan advice to the government and to loyally implement the policies and programs the government establishes.
We would certainly give advice to a government on its agenda, but ultimately the government is accountable to Canadians and is elected with a mandate. So we can give advice on a program, but it's certainly not for us to decide what will and will not be done.
