Madam Chair, my answer is always that unfortunately we have to apply the code the way it is crafted. At this point in time, it is required that you submit a new statement as if you were a brand new member of Parliament. We could certainly look at the minimum period of time—not in real time, but it has to be recent. Is the line six months, nine months, three months? I don't know. It would be for the committee to review as part of the comprehensive review.
On December 14th, 2021. See this statement in context.
