Forgive me, Ms. Barnes, but I am going directly to you, and you can help me. I mean no offence when I say this. What I heard—I hope I am right when I say this—is that through the Treasury Board process to the regulatory process, if I send in a document in a clear conflict of interest, you will then vet it at that point to a degree. Vetting is my term, not yours.
Just let me finish.
That's why you said to folks to go ahead and submit, because you don't care if they have a conflict of interest. What you are telling folks is that it's okay to submit it with a conflict of interest; you'll just kick it out here. Why don't you just tell them they can't submit it so that they don't think they actually can get it submitted, not realizing they are going to get kicked out down there? Why not just say it up front?
I interpreted what you said. I look for clarification from you if I have misspoken and paraphrased what I think you said.
