Mr. Chair, I'm from the Privy Council Office, and I'm the deputy secretary responsible for appointments. I will do my best to respond to your question. In terms of the salaries that you quoted, you are absolutely correct.
In Mr. Guzman's case, it is not uncommon for us to bring people in from outside the Government of Canada. It's a decision for which the discretion rests with the Governor in Council, to make decisions around the kind of leadership that's required from important organizations such as this one. We are responsible for working within the frameworks that the Governor in Council sets to negotiate compensation for folks when they come in from outside. As you alluded to, there is a framework in place; we work within that framework, and the salary is consistent with the framework.
As you suggest, there is not only compensation but also performance pay associated with that. It's not a given that people are going to receive the top end, as you suggest. I think, to the point of my colleagues at Treasury Board, that it will depend on the ability to achieve the objectives that the minister and, ultimately, the Prime Minister have set for the CEO.
