Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, the presentation is not finished, but I have a number of questions to ask and comments to make. I do not want to put words in your mouth, I just want to know how you see things. I looked a bit further into the presentation and I saw that there are a lot of restrictions, a lot of structure. Structure is good, but when it really complicates a situation, one feels that one is in a maze with no way out.
A number of points were raised in previous testimony, particularly with regard to section 34. It is on page 14 of your document. When an investigation requires the commissioner to obtain information from sources outside the public sector, he or she must cease that part of the investigation.
I am putting myself in a whistleblower's shoes. They are expected to disclose information and they are told that they are protected. But they are in a no-win situation if they are not directed, accompanied and counselled from the outset.
Explain to me how your group manages to reassure people like that and to get others to do the work for which you are responsible.
