I was referring, rather, to Mr. Côté's testimony. When he came to testify before the committee he said this:
With the separation of the commissioner from Elections Canada, there is, in my view, a danger in the long term of a disconnect between the administration of the rules and their enforcement. To avoid that risk, it is critical that an ongoing relationship between the two entities be preserved and nurtured.
Mr. Côté talked about that disconnect quite a bit. The Chief Electoral Officer also referred to it. When the commissioner talked to the committee about it, I saw a big problem. Even the commissioner assured us that at this time he is completely independent from Elections Canada. He had some grave concerns regarding this possible disconnect.
Do you share the commissioner's concerns and those of the Chief Electoral Officer in that regard?
