Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Bélanger, everyone seems to fully agree that we have to move forward and that we're a little ways from 2012. That's a good thing.
The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner has to regulate public office holders, such as us, while you regulate lobbyists. How well do you get along? Do you have a good balance of power? When an elected official starts doing business with lobbyists, isn't it the Ethics Commissioner who should slap the official on the wrist to tell them that they're crossing a line or making someone else cross it?
