I want to clarify something, Mr. Speaker. I am not a former accountant. I am still a chartered accountant in Canada.
We value this position. We are the government that created this position so we have no intention of getting rid of it.
With respect to the other question of the hon. member, he has asked a parliamentarian to interfere in the hiring process. That is not what I want to do. As parliamentarians, it is important that we understand the difference between governance and management. We respect the leadership in the Public Service of Canada for its management decisions. It takes those decisions with our direction and our governance.
