I completely agree with the substance of this motion. After Monday's meeting, I think it's clear that the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner is interpreting an act that can't address every possible scenario.
We have a rather unique situation right now, as I've actually presented. The idea isn't to target a single person but to ensure that Parliament, or the act, can properly regulate the various scenarios that may arise when people leave the x, y or z sector—most often the private sector—to occupy public offices or positions that would objectively place them in conflicts of interest. A review of the Conflict of Interest Act would make it possible to review the entire issue of how effective or ineffective conflict of interest screens are. I think that aspect is very well articulated. I think it's a necessity. The commissioner, in his testimony and his answers to the committee's questions, demonstrated that on Monday.
