I believe the current Conflict of Interest Act works. However, as I mentioned in my annual report, improvements can be made. The issue is not the direct conflict of interest, but rather the appearance of the conflict of interest, the perception of the situation.
For that reason, in my annual report, I suggested adopting a definition that people in government should adhere to. It covers not only conflicts of interest, but also the appearance of conflicts of interest. It's kind of hard to define and enforce, but I think it's essential for fostering the political trust you're talking about.
As such, we must remember that there was the Oliphant commission concerning allegations of conflict of interest between the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney and Mr. Karlheinz Schreiber. In his report, Commissioner Oliphant recommended having a definition dealing with apparent conflicts of interest.
Ms. Robinson‑Dalpé will read the recommendation to you.
