The commissioner is in charge of investigations. The CEO's principal responsibility is to run elections. I think it would help the CEO to focus more on that core mandate. Anybody who has read the Neufeld report will realize there were very serious irregularities in appallingly high numbers in the last election. There were 165,000 serious errors committed by Elections Canada under the CEO's leadership. I think we can only improve on that if he focuses on that core mandate.
