Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for coming this afternoon, Mr. Dion.

I understand that at the Senate last night you were asked about potential conflicts of interest--you have friends and associates in the public service--and you said you would very clearly take action to prevent even the appearance of any such conflict.

I notice that you also spent some time working at Sussex Circle. I don't know if you think there is a potential there, among either former colleagues or clients, but what would be your attitude to potential conflicts of interest arising from that period of your career?
