Frankly, Mr. Chair, I haven't been watching it perhaps to the extent that I ought to have been. It's not that you aren't doing great work; it's just that I've had other things on my plate.
As I said earlier to Mr. Christopherson, I believe that the role of the ethics advisor within the RCMP is a critical one and it should remain a high-profile position. I forget what you called it, Mr. Christopherson, but it's an advisory position; it's not part of the hierarchy of the SEC. You're there as an advisor to the SEC and not as part of the decision-making process.
Having said that, I'd only be regurgitating what I've indicated. I agree with you; there have to be checks and balances. There has to be some structure apart from the force in those rare cases. Hopefully, they'll be like the Maytag repairman. In the instances when there has to be some scrutiny, you need a body to do that. You can't continually come back to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, for example, to deal with these issues.
Those are my comments.
