I don't have the letter in front of me, and I wasn't a signatory to the letter, but generally speaking, any efforts that can be taken to underscore the essential importance of the independence of agents of Parliament is something that I would be supportive of.
It's also essential to achieve certain of the priorities I mentioned—for example, increased awareness of and confidence among public servants to come forward. That is one of the core reasons we were created in 2007, to be independent. So yes, independence is of utmost importance to me.
