I should direct you to the rules of the conflict of interest code--the code, not the act; the MPs' code.
There's a very specific set of conditions that have to lead up to an inquiry under the code. There are two ways of getting in an inquiry. It's an inquiry under the code, an examination under the act, and you always have to remember there's a difference. Under the code, the first thing that happens is, if I receive a request from a member, I have to determine whether that request contains reasonable grounds to suggest that somebody has not complied with the code. If I do think that's the case, I would then notify the person the complaint relates to, and the very first thing that happens is they have 30 days to get back to me to let me know what they have to say about the matter. When that's up, I have 15 days to look into it as best I can, and to decide under a preliminary investigation whether there are grounds to proceed to a formal inquiry. So no inquiry can take place under the code until about 45 days have elapsed.
During that 45 days, it would not be appropriate to comment on what I'm doing. My activities are confidential.
What confuses these things is that sometimes requests come in to me under both the code and the act. The act has a different set of rules entirely. Under the act, if a request with reasonable grounds has come in to me—we call it an examination under the act—the examination would commence with my notifying the relevant person.
