Minority Report This report is a complete farce. The reader needs only to read the text of the report and see that it does not match any of the recommendations at all. The recommendations outlined in this report are certainly not those of the committee as a whole. The government ignores all of the very credible testimony, which we heard from many sources and all the possible recommendations that were suggested. None of the recommendations contained in this report do justice to the statutory review of the Conflict of Interest Act. If the reader of this report was interested in making meaningful changes to make the Conflict of Interest Act, then they should go back to the testimony and see recommendations of witnesses. The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner had almost 100 recommendations, many of which were reasonable suggestions. Democracy Watch, the Canadian Bar Association, and other witnesses also had some very good suggestions but they were completely ignored. Respectfully submitted, Scott Andrews |
