That situation involved the Onex company, which had a major impact on the Canadian economy. Mr. Wright was a senior executive in this company. His situation was similar to the situation being discussed here. There was a divestment of assets into a blind trust.
Following discussions with the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner at the time, we agreed to set up an ethical wall. To the best of my recollection, this involved around 40 companies operating in four or five sectors of the economy.
More or less the same type of measures are being implemented. Personally, I have a great deal of respect for Nigel Wright and for what he did. In this particular case, he supported the process. He felt that it was acceptable and normal under the circumstances.
I'm saying that we can draw a parallel with Mr. Carney's situation.
