Accountability - What Accountability?

This from the Globe and Mail:

"The Tory candidate whose appointment to citizenship judge facilitated the defection of Liberal MP Wajid Khan dodged the screening process for that job, a parliamentary committee heard yesterday.
Raminder Gill took up his new position in October, having circumvented a three-month screening that usually includes an interview and a reference check, said Michel Simard, the senior judge leading the Citizenship Commission.
"When we had the change of government, the screening process was declared under review," Mr. Simard told the House committee on citizenship and immigration.
About 30 other applicants who have completed the screening process are waiting to become citizenship judges, Mr. Simard said."

Surely this situation is covered in the endlessly touted Accountability Act? or maybe Ms. Fraser could spout on it for us, but, right, she's busy clearing the way for zero accountability in the environment file. Just goes to show you - if you blather on enough, no one will notice you're doing whatever you bloody well please.
