Thank you very much.
Commissioner, the committee heard from a witness that the internal mechanisms of disclosure within departments should be scrapped. That was over concerns of potential conflict of interest, the lack of objectivity or independence. However, as we know, the mechanism of internal disclosure is being used even though the employees have the choice of using your office or internal mechanism. I understand that in an interview, you offered a potential solution that would maintain the internal system but provide more independence in the case of potential conflict of interest. You recommended that independent third party investigations could be a standard practice when complaints are lodged. One quote is that this could go“a long way to demonstrating commitment on the part of senior management that they're committed to resolving an issue and resolving it in a way that supports objectivity and neutrality”. I note that doesn't appear in your set of recommendations with respect to supporting whistle-blowing. I wanted to ask you to comment more about it and provide us with your view. How might that process work, and would that help provide the independence from a potential conflict of interest?
