Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Froc, Mr. Giorno and Mr. Boisvert, I want to thank you for joining us and for the quality of your presentations.
Mr. Giorno, I understand your feelings very well when it comes to this legislation's flagrant injustice toward Canadians. Average Canadians are subject to laws that involve punishment. It does seem somewhat strange that we can get around that. I think that the punishment issue is extremely important.
Mr. Boisvert, thank you very much for your clarifications regarding gifts. It is true that a gift is never free. You are entirely correct. Thank you for mentioning anthropologists because I think we do not talk about them often enough on Parliament Hill. You also talked about the definition of a special interest. You said that the problem is not caused by the legislation itself, but rather by the evaluation processes or mechanisms that could be used to assess effectiveness.
I have a fairly broad question. What additional resources or mechanisms would you like to see for assessing the legislation's effectiveness? In addition, do you think that obligating the conflicts of interest commissioner to personally meet with legislators to explain the spirit of the law would be a good starting point to avoid trouble down the road?
