That's an excellent question. The previous Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner raised this as a challenge. The act talks about real conflicts, and perception is really for individuals to manage.
We don't try to lead candidates, but if candidates flag anything for us that we have concerns with, as was done in the case of Ms. Verschuren, we refer them to the commissioner's office, and we make sure they've had the opportunity to talk that through with the office.
To your point, if they give us examples, we do emphasize perceived conflicts, and not just actual conflicts. It is part of our constant improvement, and we will give more consideration to that. It's a very good point.
