Thank you very much, Chair.
Again I want to thank the witnesses for appearing before us today so that we can have a better understanding of how to prevent this kind of fraud, for lack of a better word.
I know there are investigations going on into unethical activity, and I appreciate, Mr. Matthews, your emphasizing that the thing that was really egregious—even if there was no other wrongdoing—was the fact that Mr. Yeo took it upon himself to decide that he didn't have a conflict of interest, so he was not going to declare it. He made that very clear to us in his testimony on Tuesday.
The fact of the matter is that the prevalence of contractors also working for the public service or vice versa.... You mentioned the difficulties in the recruitment of the expertise that we need. As people move to retire, you can see a situation in which someone would continue working part time and also become a contractor. Certainly, both the employer and the employee would benefit from that arrangement.
How can we prevent this kind of egregious, unethical activity from happening, with the employer not having a full line of sight on the activities of the person in question?
