Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Minna raised this point with regard to our consideration of a GBA commissioner. I just want to make sure I was hearing what I thought I was hearing from you with regard to the best way to set it up.
I understand that if it is a stand-alone individual, there may be some time factors, in that it would take a long time. Under the auspices of the Auditor General's office, which is already in place, it would be more expedient, but you also said it depends on what kind of commissioner you want. Do we want someone at the front end providing advice, or do we want someone who is simply monitoring?
In terms of having it all, would it make sense, then, to make sure that the NGOs, the equality-seeking groups at the front end, were pushing equality through their research and through their lobbying, and then have the commissioner at the other end evaluate whether the recommendations from the groups had actually been implemented by the government?
