Well, there's an act of Parliament that specifies the circumstances in which the Chief Electoral Officer may ask me to conduct an investigation. So Parliament has spoken and has said that this is the way it should be. Again, I think it's very important that, if the CEO does that, then I decide how I'm going to do that, in the same way that if Bill C-23 is passed as it is now, if our office were to move with the office of the DPP, I would decide how investigations are to be conducted.
