Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for the question about democratic control.
Again, this is why we are suggesting that these amendments be made to the bill calling for a taxpayer protection agency, something we can work with that will ensure government has some control even in setting the terms of reference for how that person will work.
As to political friends, we all know the record of this government. One would not be surprised to see that most members of any boards or commissions would probably have Liberal connections.
