Thank you so much for that testimony.
I'll go to Dr. Stone now.
One thing we are getting some recommendations from our current commissioner on is identifying clearly what “friends and family” means, and of course the work that parliamentarians may take outside of the role.
There are two things on that. The first one, around “friends” specifically, is whether there are criteria on what that is. That seems like an odd thing to measure and may be unclear.
The second part is about work outside of parliamentary duties. I'm wondering whether there is any difference between having a position or a role prior to being elected and then if you added a role after you are elected.
Hopefully that is clear.
