In terms of dismissal, again my thinking is that if we had concerns regarding the work of the commissioner of elections, we could retain respected outside authority to examine our concerns and prepare a report. We could make our decision based upon that report, and we could be transparent with Canadians by giving a public statement if our decision were to dismiss the commissioner, or, given the fact that there was something that was publicly known, to retain the commissioner.
On April 28th, 2014. See this statement in context.
