The reason I ask is that I recall, in one instance, just how much questioning and even confusion there was over this issue of the gifts and the $30. I think it was at the procedure and House affairs committee. It didn't matter which side of the House it was on; there was confusion.
So it does seem to me that with regard to the whole protocol of laying a complaint—what happens when a complaint has been laid, what our responsibility is in terms of the code—it's very important to make that strong and clear and well understood, over and over again.
That leads me to another question. I do know that in B.C. there has been a system in place for the conflict of interest legislation. When you speak about harmonization of the code and the act, I know that in B.C. the code.... It's actually within the legislated code, and it seems to me they're having some success there in terms of penalties and maybe giving some better clarity.
I'm wondering if you could comment on the following. If, when you talk about harmonization, you're not suggesting that the code be put in the act, why not? And have you looked at what's happening in B.C.? Do you see that as potentially a model that should be followed federally?
