Professor Greene, thanks very much for taking a moment to personalize your appearance today. I appreciate the connection to your father's military service and to the Thousand Islands region, which I have the honour to represent. Of course, I have a kinship with your father through the opportunity that I had to serve as well.
I'd also like to quickly observe the photo behind you. That's lovely, and while we've read about your background, I think that photo probably says more than I read in your biography about you, so I appreciate that very much, sir.
I have five minutes remaining for questions, so I'd like to get through four, if I could.
On blind trusts, you mentioned.... Perhaps I could characterize it as a perception of inefficiency in having a designated public office holder sell their assets instead of placing them in a blind trust. During the Commissioner's appearance, which you're familiar with, he said that the trustees generally don't sell what's placed in the trust, so the public office holder knows exactly what went into it.
Is there an issue with not just the characterization of it being a blind trust, but also with the reality that they and their advisers, their cabinet colleagues and other officials know exactly what went into it?
