I'm not an expert on what the federal government does in terms of communicating to the public. I think it's very important to raise awareness, and not just inform clients of the measures that apply to them.
However, I think it's very important to inform the public. We are making a lot of effort, and we have many partnerships with universities. We are trying to reach and educate the entire public service, as well as all those who engage from the sidelines with public office holders, members of Parliament and ministers, so that they are aware of the rules that apply to public office holders and ministers.
We are seeing that it is having an impact. For example, when we're responsible for enforcing post-mandate rules, we are increasingly finding that when ministers or members of ministers' offices try to find another job, they come to us and tell us that their new employer is asking for confirmation that they can take the job and under what conditions they can do so. They want something official from the commissioner. Those requests are made through the transmission of information.
