I think that having trustees who have integrity and who can be trusted to manage the affairs competently and ethically is important. I think it's important to have people helping with the screens, such as the Clerk of the Privy Council, to make sure that the screens are working properly. That's a big job. I hope the Clerk of the Privy Council has some assistance with regard to that.
Anyway, we will see how the current system works, but I think it's really important for you, on this committee, to try to make sure that there are high standards that Canadians have trust in.
Getting back to the royal commission, some of the male participants in that two-day conference said that they didn't want higher ethical standards because their opponents would use them to criticize them. That would be unethical, so I think it's important to make sure that ethical standards are used to make sure that the system is as ethical as possible and is not used to jump on your opponents.
