I don't need that part of the answer. My time is running out, and I want to talk about something else.
Yesterday, I asked Mr. Sabia if he thought he needed to be accountable to the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner as part of the implementation of the conflict of interest screen. He said no, since he works with the Commissioner every day.
It seems to be a rather complicated responsibility to manage the Prime Minister's interests if you have to be in contact with the Commissioner every day. Wouldn't it have been simpler for Mr. Carney to divest himself of his shares in Brookfield, as Mr. Sabia did? That's his choice, but wouldn't it have been simpler to do that? We'll be looking at that option as part of our study.
