There has been a fair amount of work and a new conflict of interest code within SDTC. We as a board receive monthly reports of any declaration of conflict of interest. ISED, under the new contribution agreement, also receives regular reporting of any declaration of conflict of interest. There was the appointment of a new ethics adviser at SDTC and quite extensive training that was implemented, so there's a much more robust conflict of interest regime in place. That applies not only to staff but also to contractors, anyone doing work for the foundation.
