I appreciate that. I appreciate that very much. Ministers are accountable to Parliament for the policies of their departments, and their accountability for administration has long since gone.
I pointed out the sponsorship scandal, where the deputy said, “I wasn't in the loop, don't look to me,” and we were trying to find out, and we made a recommendation saying that somebody is going to carry ongoing accountability, not answerability. You can't discipline a minister who says it didn't happen under his or her watch; it happened under somebody else's watch. But if a deputy goes on to some other department and it happened under his watch, he must still be held accountable. That is what the accounting officer model was supposed to do, and you're telling me that if a deputy gets transferred, he's out of the loop, he's no longer accountable, and nothing can be done. Is that what you're telling me?
