Thank you.
I think maybe it's time for Madam Fraser and/or Mr. Friday to just clarify something for the committee.
I think on a couple of occasions, and just recently, Madam Fraser, you indicated that there didn't seem to be a clear process for establishing a mandate. Mr. Friday, I think, in responding to a particular question, talked about an informal process. Madam Fraser, on three separate occasions, indicated that agents of Parliament value their independence and sometimes defend it, and rightly so. But they operate under a mandate that's pretty clear and that people can understand.
Mr. Friday, give us a little bit of confidence that such a mandate does exist formally.
