We have a conflict of interest and ethics regime—the act and the code—and they're not new. In a historical context, in the history of our country, they are new, but they didn't come into force in 2015 with this government. They were in place during the previous government's tenure, but we've seen a number of very high-profile breaches and findings of breaches by the Ethics Commissioner.
Into our sixth year with this government, we seem to see the same behaviours repeated, and we're told that there's more for folks to learn. Would you not say that it's incumbent on the decision-makers, on public office holders, to have an intimate knowledge of the rules and to ensure that they're followed in order to protect Canadians' confidence in their public institutions?
