Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I like the member very much, and I would like to hear his comments on the following point.
During his speech, he talked about the importance of transparency and independence. My understanding of the bill is that the chairperson of the commission is to report to the minister rather than reporting directly to the House. This is a problem we have previously discussed. For example, the military ombudsman reported exclusively to the minister, which led to issues with transparency in the Jonathan Vance case.
Does my colleague think that this is one of the blind spots in the bill and something that could perhaps be improved down the line?
