The way the bill is designed, it has two clear roles, one for the director and one for the Speakers.
The Speakers are responsible for the overall services in terms of, for example, the main estimates. They are also responsible for preserving privileges, and finally they have the power to issue policy direction to the services.
The director himself has full responsibility and actually statutory authority to manage the day-to-day operations of the service. He will be in charge not only of the RCMP officials who will be assigned to this task but also of employees who were formerly with the protective services of the Senate and the House of Commons. He will sit over all of them and he will be fully responsible, as per the bill, for all the day-to-day management of the services.
