I am going to ask Ms. Pascale Giguère to provide more details on the binding agreements; she is the expert in this area.
As for requesting greater powers, that question has often been put to me. I always answered that I wanted to use the tools in the existing act before triggering a discussion on new powers. I also wanted to set the scene for the person who will succeed me. I think that with the arrival of a new commissioner, the time is right to talk about it.
Ms. Giguère, could you please explain the binding agreements?
