It's been proposed by some and discussed here at this committee that in the term in the act that requires that the public office holder divest their controlled assets, the definition that allows them to simply move them into a blind trust doesn't achieve what we now see with the fullness of time is what we need to have happen in order to maintain Canadians' confidence.
Do you think that divesting, and by having the public office holder sell their assets and then have the funds managed and reinvested in trust, would improve the confidence that Canadians have and add another safeguard, so that Canadians know that the decisions public office holders—the cabinet and the Prime Minister—are taking are in the national interest and not in their personal interests or their own financial interests?
