You understand that, right now, the committee has to ensure that mechanisms are there to protect Canadians. We're told that Mr. Carney is capable of managing himself and that his ethics are beyond reproach. Other witnesses have told us the same thing here.
However, Canadians want checks and balances. They want to ensure transparency. The current perception is a weight, to a certain extent. There's a perceived conflict of interest, and the only people who can detect potential conflicts of interest are the people directly connected to the person causing the conflict. Basically, what's the counterbalance?
I'm just trying to understand how we, here, can judge the current structure if we can't know when the Prime Minister has been asked to recuse himself.
