I understand why public office holders are asked to keep their distance for a period of five years. It's to avoid any possible conflict of interest.

My last question pertains to having reasonable knowledge. Subsection 6(1) of the act states that a public office holder “reasonably should know that, in the making of the decision, he or she would be in a conflict of interest.”

What are your thoughts on that?
