All other things being equal, in my opinion it would be good if all the branches of government, the executive, the judicial and the parliamentary, played a role and were treated relatively independently. Clearly the executive and the judicial branch must demonstrate complete institutional independence one from the other. We should encourage the independence of the parliamentary branch with regard to the executive as to the mandate and operation of the committee in question. As to whether there should be total independence as in the case of the judicial branch, I will let you be the judge of that.
