I have the context. Thank you.
I think that money is a secondary issue. Money is indeed important. However, I think that, above all, we must determine how we can establish a mechanism to ensure the independence of your office. Pardon my ignorance, but Mr. Leswick said this morning that your office is treated the same as other federal departments and agencies.
We've heard that recommendations have been made in this area since 2005. Have the people from the Office of the Auditor General already had serious discussions with the current government about this type of mechanism?
