Mr. Zussman, I have two questions to ask you so that I can clearly understand your explanation and the presentation you made earlier.
In the last problem we had, which was the sponsorship scandal, you examined an aspect that seems important. That was the public opinion research for which contracts were oral, rather than written. The pollster provided results orally to the person who had commissioned the report from him and sent him the bill. The money was always there.
You said earlier that Bill C-2 would require a written report, but that was already the case in 99.9% of instances. However, the sponsorship scandal showed us that this occurred in zero percent, not 99.9% of cases. They entered into oral contracts, gave each other the answers and happily helped themselves. Do you think that creating this obligation in Bill C-2 will prevent this situation?
