Certainly.
My role with respect to the wall involves really a couple of different aspects. First and foremost, my role is to assist the deputy secretaries and the clerk within the Privy Council Office to understand the scope of the wall, and to ensure that they are identifying matters coming to cabinet or going into the Prime Minister's Office for discussion or decision. If they fall within the scope of the wall, they will be properly flagged so they do not go to Mr. Wright.
I will also be responsible for assisting my boss, the deputy secretary to the cabinet, legislation and House planning, machinery of government, and counsel to the clerk. It's all one position. I realize it's a long title and people think it's two positions, but it's all one position.
I will be assisting him with his responsibilities by ensuring that on the Privy Council Office side of things, if there are any questions with respect to whether or not a particular item falls within the scope of the wall, there is consistency in the approach taken to those questions, and ultimately that they are resolved with the advice of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.
So that's the primary responsibility that we would have on the Privy Council Office side.
