Okay, that's fair.
One thing I notice is that it seemed that doors were open in a very short time. He met with all the senior officials, but he never met with anyone from the health minister's office, which was surprising. If he was offering to do work pro bono for COVID, it's surprising that he didn't bother to meet with the health minister, but he was meeting with the chief of the defence staff and even up to the Deputy Prime Minister.
My sense of concern with Mr. MacNaughton is that this seems to be a disturbing pattern that we do not want to go back to, in which someone who is very powerful, who is connected to the Prime Minister, who worked as a lobbyist and who becomes a public office holder, walks right back in and is invited right into the Deputy Prime Minister's office.
How do we ensure that people comply with the law and do not abuse their political connections and the knowledge they developed while serving as ambassadors?
