Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for being here, and for the just-in-time information.

For Ms. Donoghue, with regard to the reports on plans and priorities, I am just curious to understand why your number one priority is to ensure the non-partisan nature of the public. Was this in response to what happened with a certain candidate in the past, last year in the federal election? Is there no trust? What is happening there? Why is this your number one priority?
