Essentially, under the code, as the commissioner mentioned, there are no exceptions and there are no provisions for members to consult us, and therefore members are at liberty to accept any sponsored travel.
If they come to our office, we would say that there are no acceptability tests in the context of sponsored travel. It is the decision of the member to determine whether or not he or she should accept the sponsored travel, because the code is very specific: There are no acceptability tests under the code.
Some of you may remember that on a few occasions previous commissioners did ask for acceptability tests to be applied under the sponsored travel rules, and the procedure and House affairs committee did not concur with that. Again, it is up to members to make that determination.
