Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Commissioner, recommendation 10 that you provided is to amend the act so that all members of the staff, ministers of the Crown and ministers of state, as well as the Leader of the Opposition in both the House and the Senate, qualify as designated public office holders. I agree with that recommendation.
I would put it to you that it's consistent with what you said with respect to the objectives of the act when you appeared before this committee on November 5, 2024, that it would help make Canadians aware of “who's meeting whom and about what, and what leads to the decisions that decision-makers are making.”
Is that fair?
