Thank you.
If it's okay, Mr. Chairman, I might just give a short response and then ask Mr. Wild to talk about precedents.
My response to the member's question is that I personally took a lot of comfort when this Parliament passed the Accountability Act and the Conflict of Interest Act. I think it was important legislation. It goes to the core of rebuilding trust in government.
Something that I think is also important to rebuilding trust in government is making sure that it's not just the preserve of people who've always been inside the system, that people can come whether it is from business, the arts, or wherever. People can come from other walks of lifeāand yes, put in proper protections and procedures always, but without being on the basis of no evidence or just insinuation accused of having negative motives coming in. I think that's actually very helpful to connecting the government properly with the people from outside Ottawa.
On the question about other examples of walls, maybe that's for Mr. Wild.
