Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I don't want to get hung up on the dollar value. I appreciate what you said about the $200 being just a figure, and that anything below that, if you felt it was a conflict of interest.... That threshold is really not the important thing. The important thing is the determination of whether it's a blatant conflict or an apparent conflict, or not a conflict at all. I have a bit of difficulty with that because what I consider a blatant breach of conflict might not be the same for you.
You're going to be the judge of this. That's a very difficult role because you're determining what is a blatant conflict. I could go out with somebody for dinner who I happen to know has an interest, and I think, well, there's no conflict here, then all of a sudden I'm hearing from you that it's a conflict.
How are we going to make that determination, and how are we going to do it with respect to each other's position?
