That's right. It just seems so patently obvious that if....
I'll give you a common sense example. I met with the head of the airport authority recently. My staff submitted a parking receipt to the payroll folks here. They said, “We're not going to reimburse this because we don't have a record of his flying out that day, so he couldn't have possibly parked at the airport.” Once we gave the explanation, there was no problem. But it's just a common sense measure that a public servant who works for the House of Commons took a very small precautionary step that could have stopped $20 from being expended improperly. It just seems that when there is systematic abuse over a long period of time, somebody should notice and do something about it.
You've mentioned that some folks in the public service don't feel comfortable speaking out. That's why I think we need whistle-blower protection in this country, so that people have a recourse and they can go to an independent officer of Parliament, separate from the government, to speak out.
Do you believe that would go some distance in encouraging public servants to come forward and have complaints investigated?
