Actually, today I published a new manager's guide. This is building on the announcement Jean-Yves Duclos and I made on March 20.
That new manager's guide makes it mandatory for managers to have looked at all alternatives within the public service. Also, there's a requirement to disclose conflicts of interest before a contract is signed. The manager has to attest that no conflict exists. Essentially, that is the difference. There's the requirement to do so in writing, and it has to be done at the time of contracting. You will recall that, with regard to the individual you mentioned, that disclosure was made and caught.
