I was alluding to many mechanisms that were created by Parliament to safeguard governance in Canada. I could go through a whole bunch of them. The Public Service Commission is a safeguard of merit-based hiring and staffing in the public service that frees us from patronage. There's the existence of the Parliamentary Budget Officer and the existence of the Auditor General.
There are nearly 14 officers and agents of Parliament holding the executive to account. There are transparency laws and access to information. There are open government policies. I could go on and on, but when you compare Canadian governance to that of any other country, I think Canadians should feel assured that they work in a democracy under the rule of law.
