How would you propose to avoid that, Tecoyah? I believe a level of scrutiny in a relatively independent department (OBM) might be a fresh start in evaluating political candidates before their submission to the appropriate committee.
I am not keen about adding another layer of government for scrutinizing political appointees, but I can't think of another alternative. There is also the chance that this type of scrutiny already exists, but has been corrupted over the years.
