Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for coming today. We're seeing some common themes throughout our witness testimony in comparing to the commissioner what recommendations her office has made.
Mr. Giorno, from your experience from being around this place, what is it about the Conflict of Interest Act, the 19 duties and the 25 prohibitions, that public office holders don't seem to recognize those rules? Or it’s not that they don't recognize those rules, but I think if you asked them, they wouldn't be able to tell you half of them if they had to spell them out.
Is the problem that they know there are some general rules about conflict of interest, but not the specifics? Will the penalties bring more attention being paid to them? Do you understand what I'm asking? Why is it that of these 19 duties and 25 prohibitions, if you ask people, they probably wouldn't be able to name half of them?
