First, I would like to thank my colleague, Ms. Latendresse, for being here, and I congratulate her on her excellent work. Because of her, if we can finish this process quickly, we will be able to avoid the unfortunate situation we had with the Auditor General at the start of our mandate. It was an extremely unfortunate situation that upset a lot of people. The government recognized that it was a mistake. Thanks to you and your relentless work, we will be able to avoid this kind of situation in the future. Thank you.
I would like to clarify something regarding clause 3. You suggest that positions can be added to the list only by resolution of the Senate, the House of Commons or both. That is not actually the case; it is following an appointment that has already been approved by parliamentarians. So we may think that parliamentarians, too, would think that the person to be added would be an officer of Parliament. Is that really what you want to establish with this bill?
