Thank you very much, Mr. Chair,
Full disclosure and transparency are good things, and I think we all aspire to do more of that.
I'd like to ask you a question about what you call past partisanship and how past partisanship in one person's life is considered a bad thing. Why is one's past partisanship an important part of this bill? You said “free of political influence”. If someone has past partisanship, does that entitle them to some sort of political influence?
