Mr. Wright, I have listened to your presentation and the answers you have given to all the questions that were put to you here, this afternoon, and I am trying to understand how you will carry out your work.
Nothing that I have heard today has convinced me that you will be able to properly fulfil the duties of the Prime Minister's chief of staff, given all those restrictions. Moreover, the ethical wall you say has been implemented has become so complex. At any given time, you have to refer to either the staff or your assistant. If there is a disclosure, that must be brought to the attention of Ms. Dawson, the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.
The ethical wall that was implemented as a way to allow you to do your work as chief of staff has considerably limited the scope of your work, given all of your interests in Onex. In my opinion, you have not really demonstrated that you will be able to fulfil all the duties that a prime minister should expect from a chief of staff.
