Madam Speaker, I thank the member for the question.
One of the principles and the pillar of this new agency will be that it will be fully accountable to the minister and therefore to parliament. That linkage, that trust relationship, that fiduciary relationship between the Canadian taxpayer and parliament will not be broken.
I would like to mention for the record that the Minister of Finance from Manitoba as reported in the Winnipeg Free Press has supported this agency and I believe is eager to be part of that.
In response to the member's question, it is a legitimate one but I think we have the necessary checks and balances to make sure that does not occur.
