I would say that with respect to a Governor in Council appointee—if there were a case of a GIC appointee—within a portfolio of a department, we would work with them, yes.
Our role, in terms of managing GIC appointees in a general way, ultimately would be that we would want to support that department in terms of a process around the complaints so that if there is an allegation, there is, as my colleague mentioned, procedural fairness and a bias-free and independent investigation.
The outcome of that investigation is very important in terms of informing next steps. Our job in supporting both the minister and the Prime Minister around the GIC appointee is to make sure that information is collected and that the investigation is undertaken in a way that will enable us to provide advice on next steps.
So, yes, we could be generally aware of a case of a GIC appointee.
