I'm going back to the Integrity Commissioner and the investigations.
A concern around what's missing from the bill—and I'll ask you about it today—is the need for proper independent investigation of the wrongdoing that gets reported. Experts and advocates in the field have told me that we can't be confident in the investigations happening under the current act because the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner has always been a government public servant.
Do you believe that a public servant whose career and connections rely upon staying in the government's good graces is the best person to serve as the Integrity Commissioner? Do you think that a truly independent expert would be better able to carry out truly independent investigations of wrongdoing?
