Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
The first thing I want to say is about the opening statement that I gave to the translation people. I've made some changes to that, and I found an error in one of my comments, so I would like it understood that I would like to replace that, and I'll do that this afternoon.
I note that I was the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner for 10.5 years. I was appointed the first one under the Conflict of Interest Act in 2007. The responsibility of the commissioner is both the Conflict of Interest Act, which is public office holders, and members under the members' code.
First of all, I note that 10 of the 23 submissions I made in 2015 were accepted, so I appreciate that. I also note that three of the recommendations made by Mr. Dion repeat some of the ones that were rejected that I had made previously.
I have a few comments on some of the others. One of the other ones that Mr. Dion suggested, early mandatory training, is a very good suggestion. We did have a regular practice, anyway, of discussing obligations with new members, but I think the regular mandatory training would certainly focus properly on that.
I think I will stop now, because I've run out of time.
