Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I think what we've identified here in this conversation is something that may seem reasonably straightforward but can always be improved. If this is what the members see and would like to have in the code, so that there is this distinction between their constituency role and their parliamentary role, and there is indeed something improper, and if it can be more clearly spelled out—if that's what the members wish to do, and this committee wishes to indicate that for the House's approval—then that's something that will permit a commissioner more guidance as to what is indeed appropriate.
On the earlier question about the staff, I have no comment at all about how the staff has proceeded in the past, but it is a staff that has had a certain experience with respect to public officer holders, prior to the role with respect to the members of Parliament, and there's a difference in terms of what the duties and functions are as part of that role. I think this code does reflect that, but there could always be a little bit more clarity, if the members wish to have more guidance within the code, for the commissioner who interprets it. So that's why we pointed this out.
