For the funding mechanism, I do believe there is a role for central agencies and that they still need to be involved because they do set the budgeting of expenditures in the government, but I do believe that Parliament should also have a role in order to help support the independence of not only our office but any agent of Parliament.
I believe that this committee, in the case of our office, could play that role, or another committee could be set up that could oversee all agents of Parliament. There are many options to explore, and I'd be really happy to do that with any working group that would like to do so.
