We agree that a person appointed by the Prime Minister, someone the Prime Minister trusts, will be responsible, as in this case, for the conflict of interest screen for the 103 files related to potential conflicts of interest.
We're told that an entire team is working on it. That means the Prime Minister appoints someone he trusts, someone he's close to, and he entrusts them with the responsibility of managing his assets, knowing full well, as we've said, that he has to think about what he's going to do in one, two or four years.
Are we in a situation where the public might have doubts about that structure?
Could we possibly require that a third person, someone outside that relationship, be responsible for ensuring that the public is never cheated and that the current Prime Minister doesn't think about his post-politics career path while acting in office with public money?
