Mr. Chair, I would again reiterate that our role is to make sure that people understand their obligations under the act. It is the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, as set out in statute and passed by Parliament, who is responsible for interpreting, administering and adjudicating. That means he does undertake efforts to ensure that appointees understand their obligations under the act. If there is a problem, as we've seen in this set of circumstances, he will investigate and he will make findings.
