I will briefly go to the English version.

I'm hesitant to see laws changed by orders in council in the sense that this is a law that we're passing and we're putting it before Parliament. The creation of a new officer of Parliament would be an act of Parliament.

Would it be appropriate, when we create a new officer of Parliament, that at that time we could amend this, if this were to become a law, rather than have orders in council?
