Thank you very much, Mr. Fraser and Ms. Mochan, for being here.
As you probably know, we've been studying changes to the code and the recommendations made by the commissioner on and off for the better part of three years now, I guess. Some of the reason for that has been due to the fact that we've had other issues come before our committee, and some, I suspect, was because of our not wanting to deal with it in a timely fashion. Nonetheless, I think your appearance here today will be helpful, although I suspect it may raise more questions than it provides answers. We'll see how it goes.
I appreciate the fact that you've provided us with a glimpse of how British Columbia deals with its act.
The first question I have is a general one. You mentioned that you have an act rather than, as we have, a code and an act. One provides legislation that deals with every member of Parliament, and a second one is layered over it—that's the act—and pertains to public office-holders, those being parliamentary secretaries and cabinet ministers.
Do you think that having just one code in British Columbia is sufficient, or did you consider at any time a second layer to deal with public office-holders?
