I'm not sure I would argue the way you argue, because at the end of the day, somebody is appointing the Director of Public Prosecutions and somebody is appointing the.... So if the appointment means you're not independent, it's just not correct. In the case of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the law puts him in an independent position and so on.
Quite clearly for me, if he's independent of the Chief Electoral Officer, that he be there or that he be basically where all prosecutions are taking place for the federal government, it shouldn't change anything as long as you have the flow of information on the cases. I think there are merits of putting everything together.
I have one caveat, which is that I think it's abnormal that the Commissioner of Canada Elections not have the same power that is given for economic crimes to the Director of Public Prosecutions. It should be the same place. If you're going to put it there and you have the argument to put them together, it should be the same powers that they have for just about any criminal investigation.
