To the notion that, in late January or February, she would be a private citizen, that may be of some benefit and it may not. Since she is the Ethics Commissioner right now in standing, it is this committee's prerogative and request that we can call her forward. She's available. We aren't busy.
Clearly an exit interview is a normal business practice in any business I've been involved in. The idea of exit interviews is that you do them before the employee leaves. You don't do them after they've left, because getting them back, in my experience, can sometimes be tricky, especially one who's been under a great deal of both public and private attention.
The notion I put forward is this: why not have the conversation? It certainly does not do us any harm, and I think it could greatly inform the process and the questions we would put to a new Ethics Commissioner. It would also help me, at least, and I imagine other committee members, frame the scope of any study we're going to do on the ethics rules as they sit right now based on her most immediate and current experience.
