That's a very good question.
It's very confusing to have sets of rules in the act that differ from those in the code. I think the recommendation that apparent conflicts of interest be included in the act, as they are in the code, makes it slightly less confusing. You folks have to live with the code and cabinet ministers have to live also with the act, so it's really up to you in your experience, in consultation with the Commissioner, to decide whether there should be more of a confluence between the two documents.
I think it's confusing for the general public to see two different documents and see some reports coming out under the act, others coming out under the code, and some coming out under both. Perhaps there could be a way of merging these in a more seamless manner.
