Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm just a kinesiologist. I have been here for a year. I'm not a lawyer, but there are some things I find odd, so I have come here to ask questions.
Minister, I'm glad you were talking to us about the commissioner, because the commissioner proposed that we include the appearance of a conflict of interest in the act. In fact, he even asked us to do so. That appearance is what we are currently experiencing.
You're bringing us back to what the commissioner can't do. He's asking us to incorporate this into the act, but when we put it in our report, your whole gang says that we shouldn't do it. We have just asked for a document, and your whole gang refused to give us access to the document, which is so clear, as you say. We just want to see it, but all the Liberals have just voted against that.
My final question has to do with your speech. It was drafted by an Alto employee for $12,168. My question is a bit simple, even simplistic, I imagine. How can an employee be allowed to write a speech promoting the project they're working on and be paid with taxpayers' money? I'm just trying to see how the speech can be influenced when the people writing it can influence the value of a project.
