Let me explain our policy on filters, because that is really the issue at hand here. If there is a potential conflict of interest, the person must recuse themselves. If they do so, the recusal will be published on our website. This is something that is very public.
As a precaution, a filter must also be established. This filter is administered by two people who ensure that the minister is not involved in any discussion or decision regarding the matter creating the conflict of interest. We require this. To do so, we provide the member with a form to discuss the necessary measures, among other things. Once we have an agreement on this filter, we publish it on our website. It is an official filter.
