I agree with Mr. Garon's suggestion that this is something we can ask the minister. When I first read about this case in the media, one thing I was not very happy about was that it was just a slap on the wrist with no jail time. That was my first concern. That's my first thought.
Second, I have a question myself. For public service employees, I don't think there's any requirement for them to disclose the companies they own, the business they are in, like parliamentarians have to do with the Ethics Commissioner. I think that, if there's not, it's time for that to be instituted so that some of the straightforward cases like this can be nipped in the bud before they happen.
I agree with Mr. Garon that this is something that merits a question to the minister but not a full study.
