Gary Goodyear at the Subcommittee on Disclosure Forms under the Conflict of Interest Code

We're going to deal with that at some point, but not right now.

Can I ask Mr. Walsh one more question, if I have time left?

The security and confidential safeguard guidelines by the Office of the Ethics Commissioner seem to be pretty good. I'm not concerned with that, but what I'm concerned about is whether or not the staff at the Ethics Commissioner's office is trained well enough to know the difference between the two different codes—the one for public holders and the other for members.

I think the code spells out pretty well that any information in the Ethics Commissioner's office, etc., is covered by parliamentary privilege. But my concern is whether or not the staff is trained well enough to understand what that means.

I suppose the question is direct: are you comfortable that members' privileges are in reality protected to the level and the degree that they should be in the code?
