It's better than what's there now. The only remaining concern, Mr. Chairman, is that whether informing the authorities of his belief includes providing the basis for that belief—i.e., the documents, if any, on which it is based or statements made to the Ethics Commissioner by the member if those are what his belief is based on.
It's an evidentiary issue that concerns us, as opposed to the actual informing of the public authorities. It's handing over documents that can form the basis for other proceedings or other declarations, or whatever statements were obtained from the member under the legal obligation for those to be handed over.
So our concern would be to try to see to it that while the objective of this section is met by giving the authorities notice of a possible offence, it's our view that it isn't necessarily the intent—and I would argue further that it shouldn't be the intent, even if it was—for the Ethics Commissioner to furnish documents and other evidence in his possession to the investigating authorities in connection with that possible offence.
