That entity (gotta be gender neutral!) could have gone up there, dropped xix's pants, shat on the table, rolled in it, said "this is a metaphor for you worthless commoners, Canada. Eat shit.", stabbed the interviewer on air, and then yelled "you're next, when we pass this bill! You're all fucked!", and the bill STILL would pass.

It literally does not matter. The interview is not to sell the position, it is to let us know the terms of our torture.
