I would observe, with respect to Mr. Carney's so-called ethics screen, that there is no oversight by the Ethics Commissioner. There is no oversight by anyone other than the chief of staff and the Clerk of the Privy Council, both of whom are conflicted. There is no public reporting mechanism. There hasn't even been transparency around how the ethics screen is supposed to work and how decisions are made.
I would submit that in the face of the most conflicted Prime Minister in Canadian history, Canadians deserve a whole lot better than what is nothing more than a smokescreen.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
