Thank you for being here, Ms. Dawson, Ms. Bélanger and Ms. Robinson-Dalpé.
I wanted to ask you about the fact that you have the title of ethics commissioner, and yet the term “ethics” does not appear anywhere in the current act. You seem to be uncomfortable with that. Your help is frequently sought in a variety of situations, but your focus under the Conflict of Interest Act is more on matters of personal interest.
The act is scheduled for review in July 2012, so what amendments should be made to strengthen the ethics component? Basically, you have a title, but nothing in the act deals with that part of your mandate. What amendments would you propose?
