Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner

I wish I had more authority to recommend something as an investigation is completed. All I have under the act is the power to analyze the facts and share that analysis with the Prime Minister. I do not have the power to even recommend anything under the act.

I wish I had that power because I think it could make a difference in the effectiveness, if you wish, of the process. In the code, the situation is different because there's an explicit power to recommend a sanction. I wish I had the same authority under the act.
