Let me address that point. Proposed section 39 of the proposed act in the bill that's before you actually does provide for a discretion in the commissioner to reduce the limitation period referred to in proposed section 36, and proposed section 36 itself refers back to the substantive prohibitions in proposed section 35.
In respect of a minister, if that's the example before us, a minister is governed by proposed section 35 for a two-year period; however, under proposed section 39 that minister may apply to the commissioner. There are criteria in that section to guide the commissioner, who may, in the appropriate case, reduce in part or in whole the limitation period of a government minister. And there is a similar procedure for all public officer-holders.
