I think it's a very well-intentioned question, so I appreciate it.
Part of my comfort, Mr. Chair, is because I know the deputy chief of staff in the Prime Minister's Office who is going to be the supervisor of the ethical wall. I think you actually need an individual like that within the PMO to be a go-to place if I'm not the go-to place. So I think it will work. I also know that he understands the statute, and his responsibility first and foremost as a public office holder to uphold the statute.
I'm open-minded. If the fear that the member has is that somehow this just cannot work, if that fear is well-founded, then I will be the first person to seek the advice of the Ethics Commissioner to see whether another system could work, or another solution be applied. But I take a lot of comfort, Mr. Chair, in the fact that very similar walls have worked in earlier circumstances, including with the Prime Minister of Canada. So I take a lot of comfort that it will work. I want it to work, and if for some reason it is not working, I will seek advice on how to make it work.
