For you as the commissioner, this seems to be a problematic area, especially when you take a look at other jurisdictions that have covered this off. You tend to report within the parameters of what's asked of you--the numbers, etc. Other commissioners often in their reports will also provide recommendations and policy recommendations. You're considered the Ethics Commissioner, and people turn towards you not just to provide the raw numbers, and raw numbers based on self-reporting, but we and the public we all serve look to you to provide policy recommendations.
How much time and effort does your department expend—and we're looking at your budget—on policy review, on other jurisdictions, and in situations like the one I've mentioned in providing recommendations to committee so that we can become more ethical in the way we conduct ourselves?
