I'd be glad to comment, because we've had the same kind of discussion around whether the Commissioner of the Environment should be much more of an advocate and comment on policy and play that kind of role. What I have told parliamentary committees is that it really depends on what you want that person or that office to do. If the goal is to have an advocate to do promotion and bring forward best practices, that cannot be done in an audit office.
