Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for being here again, Commissioner Dawson, with your colleagues.
Commissioner, you've talked about the difficulty of doing ethics generally. I think we all recognize that in the context of Parliament it has its extra challenges, perhaps, with the partisan nature of the work we do, which I suppose is an extra layer on the task of doing ethics. You've been talking about how the law that you take your mandate from doesn't specifically talk about the term “ethics” in the mandate. Are there other models in other countries or in other institutions you've seen that address that issue in a different way that you think might be helpful for us to know about or to consider, that perhaps make that kind of mandate more explicit or take a different approach than does your office and the legislation we have here in Canada?
