Mr. Mario Dion at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

On November 27th, 2020. See this statement in context.

November 27th, 2020 / 1:25 p.m.

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

I read the section differently from the member, Mr. Chair.

Once again, I will quickly read a few passages:

6 (1) No public office holder shall make a decision... if the public office holder knows or reasonably should know...

That is what we do when we are called to this position. That is what I do in a report: I analyze the facts and come to a conclusion. So when you are in a situation like that, you have to see whether it was reasonable to think that the person should have known, based on the facts.
