Thank you, Madam Chair.
Absolutely, that's correct. There have certainly been circumstances where a former public office holder is contemplating potential conduct or activities or employment after they leave office and have to actually consult with both the Commissioner of Lobbying and the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. It is not impossible. Again, the restrictions are different in the respective pieces of legislation. They may get different advice or slightly different advice, or even at times potentially conflicting advice. From a CBA perspective, we just think it would assist the administration of justice and it would help clarify the obligations on former public office holders if all post-employment restrictions were centralized, harmonized, and under the purview of a single authority, although, as we say, we think Parliament is in a better position to determine which authority that should be.
