With Sheila Fraser’s 10 year term ending, Harper would have to appoint a new auditor general. For lack of a better system, the government is the one who appoints the person who audits them. We can only hope that Harper won’t appoint another Christian Ouimet. She have seriously undermined the integrity of a government agency after being appointed to the Public Service Integrity Commission. She failed to protect whistleblowers and instead retaliated against employee who complained to the Auditor General.
Fraser’s disparaging report slammed Ouimet for failing to properly do her job and found the office — which has an $11-million budget — investigated only five of 228 complaints filed during Ouimet’s three-and-a-half-year tenure.
Ouimet also berated, intimidated and yelled and swore at her staff, the report said. (fairwhistleblower.ca)

I’m sure he’s flipping through his Rolodex right now, zeroing in on “S” for “Stooge.” If you’re looking for someone of great integrity, courage and skill, don’t ask the most secretive, manipulative guy in the room for suggestions.
