Thank you.

I guess I'm concerned because these are serious issues. These are serious breaches of conflict of interest, and yet you have no ability to assess penalties. You say your role is educational.

Mr. Paradis tells us he's going to learn his lessons and go back to business as usual. But when you're in breach of conflict of interest and a serious cabinet minister, don't you believe there should be higher levels of standard of accountability?
