Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
My comments will be in the same vein as my colleague's.
You seem to have a slightly different philosophical approach. You say that you are more interested in the nature of the gifts rather than their value. But their nature is by definition imprecise and vague. This is more a matter of judgment on the part of the person who must evaluate it, assess it—such as someone in your position—and for the person who receives the gift.
We are discussing things that happen between human beings. The capacity to influence someone is variable. My colleague and I may have very different powers of influence. I may be more sensitive and he may be more virtuous than I am, for instance. It is quite difficult to measure.
So, how can you rate the nature of a gift, when basically everyone is going to be using parameters such as cost, or the actual value? How do you work with all of those parameters in British Columbia?
