Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know the report is expected to come out sometime in 2021, and we look forward to the findings. I would nevertheless like to know your take on something, Mr. Tassé.
It has to do with subsection 11(1) of the Conflict of Interest Act and accepting a gift or contract. The provision reads as follows:
11 (1) No public office holder or member of his or her family shall accept any gift or other advantage, including from a trust, that might reasonably be seen to have been given to influence the public office holder in the exercise of an official power, duty or function.
I asked the commissioner this, but I'd like to hear your views on what constitutes an advantage. Are a gift and an advantage two different things?
