Again, thank you very much for the question.
As I've answered before, the vetting was done based on the person's credentials, recognizing that if any such conflicts existed, the onus was on the individual to seek the appropriate advice. To my understanding, based on the testimony provided by Ms. Verschuren, she did reach out to the Ethics Commissioner to get advice, and then ultimately this recommendation was made.
I also believe it's important that, as you say, when individuals are on the board, they, along with other public office holders, hold themselves to the highest possible standard when it comes to dealing with conflicts of interest. I think that's the key take-away here.
