Thank you for the specific nature of your comments. We are taking good note of them for our study.
Regarding punishment and monetary or administrative penalties, we also sometimes feel a certain impatience, in particular when the commissioner says that certain departments breached the Conflict of Interest Act. I don't want to launch a debate, but let's take the Minister of Finance, for instance. He sent a letter to the CRTC which contravened section 9. At the end of it all, there were no consequences, not even a slap on the wrist, aside from the work that we may do.
You also suggested fines that would go from $50,000 to $200,000. That is quite steep. What violation would a member have to commit to deserve a fine that is higher than some annual salaries?
