One is with respect to a comment, and it was a comment made by one of my honourable colleagues, about the conflict of interest. If there was an opposition executive assistant or an executive assistant to a member of the opposition or its leader, should they not follow the same standards as a ministerial aid? I think that's an excellent suggestion, frankly, and I would certainly hope that we get an amendment coming from my honourable colleagues opposite to that effect.
I have another question for you, sir, on what I think is a decent suggestion. On the current wording of the section with respect to the activities of ministers and parliamentary secretaries and their activities vis-à-vis parliamentarians as opposed to a public office-holder, you say the wording may create some confusion. Under what circumstances should a minister wear his or her hat as an ordinary MP and serve the constituent? This confusion would be especially acute when a minister is asked by a constituent to deal with a quasi judicial body or a crown corporation on their behalf.
What wording would you suggest would clarify that situation?
