Madam Chair, in relation to the question about external activities and guidelines as to what can or cannot be done, the code refers to guiding principles and objectives. I invite you to consult them regarding avoiding the appearance of conflict of interest and encouraging confidence in the system.
The rules of conduct in sections 8 to 10 of the code make it clear that a member may not engage in any activity that might further their personal interests or those of members of their family, or improperly further those of any other person or entity.
I think that is the spirit of the rule about holding another job or office. There is no prohibition at the moment. Section 7 states that there is nothing to prevent a member of Parliament from engaging in other activities, unless they are a parliamentary secretary or minister, according to the law.
So that possibility is there. One of the commissioner's recommendations is perhaps to limit that. So it will be up to you to determine whether you want to go in that direction or whether you are comfortable with the general principle.
