I'm not sure if this legislation would in fact have prevented the sponsorship scandal.
The problem is that successive federal governments have in fact imported private sector values into the public sector, things such as corporate sponsorships, lavish expense accounts, and exorbitant CEO salaries. We think that's fundamentally one of the problems related to issues around the sponsorship scandal at least as it relates to Canada Post.
But certainly I would echo my brother's comments about needing more time and having more attention paid to this really extensive legislation. It's absolutely important and crucial in terms of the democratization of our public institutions that this kind of legislation does meet the needs of the public.
