To my knowledge, I have none. I have been retired for 10 years. Obviously, prior to retirement, I have been involved with a lot of people in government in both parties, etc. Most of them were business relationships. A few were also personal. Should one of those come up in any case, I will have no hesitation whatsoever to immediately recuse myself and designate somebody else to deal with it. It would be another one of the commissioners. Let's say I would ask the commissioner of lobbyist registration or somebody like that, another servant of Parliament like me, to basically deal with that.
I doubt that something would arrive, but who knows? I certainly am prepared to do that. It was the same thing when I was a judge. There was one case where my daughter was articling for a firm. She wasn't on the case, but I said right away, “Forget it. Assign it to somebody else. I don't want it even to come up.” If there is an inkling of conflict of interest, I, as commissioner of ethics, have to lead by example. There can be no question of anything, and I don't even want someone to be able to raise a point. I would immediately tell them to take it off the table.
