It's really important that Canadians be able to have confidence in their public institutions and their public officials. Incidents in which members of the public service or designated public office holders are found to have broken procurement rules damage Canadians' confidence in the institution they work for, the department they work for. They undermine, I think, the Canada brand.
Do you think that when federal ethics or procurement rules are violated, there should be restitution made, that taxpayers should be made whole for the wrongdoing?
