Now we're talking about a perceived conflict of interest, which is highly subjective.
Legislation should target real conflicts of interest related to private interests. I have no problem with your recommendation to add specific provisions concerning the Prime Minister's Office so that another office can make certain decisions.
You're right that the Prime Minister has a particular role and power. The challenge, as I mentioned, lies in the practicality element. We don't know who the Prime Minister will be after the budget announcement or next year.
That also raises another issue. We mustn't discourage people from entering a party leadership race or getting into politics. There's a downside to all of that.
