Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think the preventative code process that has been put in place means that you cannot ask for advice on a situation that does not directly concern you or is purely hypothetical. Advice is confidential, obviously.
The objective is to give advice on a real situation. We are there to prevent conflicts of interest, to assist in reflection, and to help people adopt correct conduct in the circumstances.
The last thing we want, and this has been clearly thought out from the outset, is for people to be able to call the commissioner to try to find out how an opponent might behave, or because they have heard that a given person has some issue, which could lead to wanting to publish the case or cases in the media.
It's really to avoid that, and I think it's quite appropriate.
