Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
My questions are for Mr. Dion.
Mr. Dion, I don't envy you at all. Before I entered politics, my job in the private sector was sort of the equivalent of a conflict of interest commissioner for an association of pharmaceutical companies. So I understand very well the key role you play. I think the vast majority of MPs, if not all of them, take your role seriously and do their best to comply with the Conflict of Interest Act and the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons.
My question relates to the notion of friends. You said that it would be important to expand the current definition to include them, but as you know, MPs don't lack friends. There isn't an MP who doesn't have an impressive network, be it in their riding or across the country.
How well do you plan to set out the new definition of what MPs should declare, should your recommendation to include friends be adopted?
