As it stands, of course, the Ethics Commissioner isn't involved. He says, “Okay, Chief of Staff, you administer the ethics screen.” We're supposed to trust that the chief of staff and the Clerk of the Privy Council, both of whom are answerable to the Prime Minister, are doing this, but there is no reporting mechanism. There is really no information provided to demonstrate that the ethics screen is actually working.
Would you agree that the Prime Minister, in the interests of transparency, should inform Canadians about how the ethics screen is in fact working on a day-to-day basis?
