Thank you, Madam Chair.
This is a somewhat difficult one because it fluctuates with time. There used to be a time when the key issue was the acceptability of gifts. Since COVID, people don't go anywhere and do not get any gifts. Therefore, gifts are not much of an issue at this point in time.
The key issue today is the notion of significant change. When is a change significant enough for the duty to inform my office to arise? It's vague in most members' minds, and we don't have the authority to set parameters except to say that they have to be material changes. “Material” means something that affects the initial statement that was published on the registry. Does a change of $10 on one's mortgage constitute a significant change? I don't think so. Where is the line? Is it $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000? That's topic number one.
Topic number two is letters of support. Many members inquire about letters of support. They ask what they can say, what stationery it should be on and so on. We could have a guideline on that as well.
There are several subjects like that. It appears the prevalence is around the issue of significant change and letters of support mostly, and to some extent gifts.
