In my opinion, it absolutely opens the door for more interference. If you say on paper who reports to the minister.... I had to go hat in hand to the deputy minister to get the money and authority to do staffing. If we put them in the same situation.... I don't know how or in what world you think you're increasing transparency if you start bringing everyone into the house and putting them under the same set of rules.
I just think it's going to get worse, not better.
