For example, an MP or a minister shouldn't have to learn from the media that the Ethics Commissioner has been asked to conduct an inquiry into his activities. You're probably much better acquainted with members of the press than I am. Imagine one of them phoning your office to confirm that you have been asked to investigate Mr. Marc Lemay. As soon as you've answered the question, that's it. There's no stopping things until the story is confirmed.
