I think the culture of collaboration will have to coexist with the culture of foreign interference.
Mr. Bilodeau, as you know, I love asking you questions.
I heard your plea earlier about the independence of the commissioner. We talked about this the other day, and you repeated the explanation that it was simpler that way, because the infrastructure was already in place.
Either we're independent or we're not. It's that simple. I understand independence of action, but accountability to the Department of Public Safety reinforces the importance of trust, transparency, and exemplarity, three values I mentioned earlier. In addition, it seems to me that, in the government's interest, that independence should be real and perceived, rather than a form of independence.
