Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
We need to go back to the purpose of the commission itself. It is to provide oversight and credible, independent information to Parliament. The enforcement blurs that line. If an agent is now responsible for enforcing their own recommendations, it blurs the independence of that agent. Ultimately, it's up to Parliament to make sure those recommendations are implemented.
What is interesting about this commissioner is that, on the other side, you have the modern treaty groups, which will be reviewing every report that comes out and can even ask the commissioner to undertake investigations. Those investigations will come directly to Parliament and this committee, so the committee will be able to review them and ensure that recommendations are implemented.
I'm speaking for President Clayton, and I hope I don't get kicked under the table. The modern treaties.... Of course, we'll be taking those reports and implementing them as well, because that's the point of the commission. It's independent from both Parliament and modern treaties. We'll be implementing the recommendations.
