Mr. Chair, the government does take it seriously, although not as seriously as I wish it did. It's a spectrum of seriousness, if you will. There were several ministers and parliamentary secretaries who were taking their obligations very seriously. There were others who were not as serious about it. As a whole, there was a good degree of effort to ensure that they would act within the Conflict of Interest Act.
