Mr. Chair, the only concern I have—and here we talked a little bit about the post-employment conditions—is when you're recruiting somebody as a public office holder, whether it be in a ministry or another position. Do you think that maybe we're compromising the ability to get qualified professional people because there's that restriction? If they leave their employment, it's going to restrict their ability to use their knowledge base to help an organization. That's their value. Their value is in the fact that they have insights and a particular expertise in maybe a particular ministry. Part of that is the value of the office holders as far as a knowledge resource for both private and public administrations or interests is concerned.
I'm just wondering what your thoughts are about that. Was there a problem in the past that this definitely had to be put in place? Or is it just a perceived problem? I'm wondering whether it really is necessary.
