Thank you very much.

I'd like to go back to Mr. Estey and Ms. Smith. Can you talk a little more about the real operational independence of the new agencies? There was concern about that independence in reporting to government, and perhaps they should be reporting directly to Parliament.

Would you talk about the independence of organizations like CASDO, the accessibility commissioner, and the chief accessibility officer?

See context to find out what was said next.
