I know, and I'm sorry, but I always gone on the principle that if someone can hire me and fire me, then that person is in effect my boss. But I'll take you at your contention.
Why I'm trying to get at is that Bill C-23 would make you truly independent. In other words, the Chief Electoral Officer now can direct you to investigate a certain case. Bill C-23 would give you full independence. The Chief Electoral Officer, for an example, could request an investigation be conducted, as anyone else could request an investigation, but you would have the full authority to investigate based on your own decision, not a directive from someone else? So I think that increases and enhances your independence, which I would think would be a good thing, particularly—and I don't know if this has ever happened before, I honestly don't, but theoretically, since the Chief Electoral Officer has the ability to appoint and dismiss you, as you've mentioned—in terms of what would happen if in fact there was a case where you felt you had to investigate an employee of Elections Canada. Would you not think there would be a conflict there?
