Thank you.
For our part, there is nothing in the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Members of the National Assembly that prevents an elected official from speaking about an investigation request that they have submitted to the commissioner. Unlike the federal government, our code does not provide for a 15‑day deadline for examining a request. I have recommended that this be the case. That said, I do think it is a good provision to add; it causes people to wait until the commissioner has had a chance to rule on an application and determine whether an investigation is required before people can talk about it.
