Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Dean Sossin, for being on conference with us from York University.
One of the tasks this committee has in the statutory review of the Conflict of Interest Act is to look for areas where the act is obviously working, where it's making sense, where the original idea of the act when it was drafted and came into law five years ago works and is doing what it's supposed to be doing, and obviously looking at ways we can improve it or change it to make it more relevant, based on the experience we've had over the last five years.
Have you looked at other national jurisdictions? I think you mentioned you've done a fair bit locally, maybe in Toronto or with some municipalities, on their conflict of interest bylaws and codes. But do you have some international examples where some countries have it better than Canada, where you believe parts of their legislation could be emulated in Canadian improvements to our act?
