If I may, sir, the objective here isn't to encourage folks to run for office or to avoid tax liability so much as it is to ensure that Canadians have confidence that the decisions taken by these public office holders are in the best interests of the public. There can be no appearance of a conflict, no perception that they're taking decisions that are going to enrich themselves. That's the root of my previous question.
These conflict screens can cover dozens or hundreds of companies. Does your office have any ability to independently verify that the screen is triggered when required, or is it simply up to the political appointees of the designated public office holder to inform you?
