Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to ask a couple of questions about conflict of interest.

I wonder, Mr. Cory, if it would be reasonable for the public to perceive there being a conflict if a person was on the advisory council responsible for informing the development of the Canada Infrastructure Bank and heading up a proponent that was coming to the bank looking for an investment in, say, a public transit project. Is it reasonable for the public? Do you understand why the public might perceive a conflict there?
