But take the prohibition on the commissioner of any public commenting on investigations or a study of complaints to determine whether or not there are sufficient grounds to go forth with an investigation, etc. The heart of that prohibition is to preserve the rights of the MP whose conduct has become subject to a complaint, to ensure fairness in that.
Do you not think, at least as a first thought, that any discretionary power that this committee might decide to confer upon the commissioner to make public comment should be subject to prior approval of that MP?
Now, whether or not it works to the MP's favour, that would be the decision of the MP to make.
