Mr. Chairman, we did not look into how the departments dealt with these cases, except for the three that we have identified. And they did implement procedures to prevent those situations from recurring.
I want to come back once again to the idea of education. Moreover, the departments need to do risk assessments to determine the sectors where conflicts of interest might create the most problems. They need to make sure that procedures are put in place. Regardless, I honestly think that, in such a large federal public service, there will always be cases of this kind. At a future meeting, the committee may want to question deputy ministers about the steps they are taking to educate their employees and what action is taken when serious situations occur.
