Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That concludes some of my comments, however, I did want to request a legal opinion from the Law Clerk, and I want the Commissioner and the House to know that this item was discussed at great length in the Ordinary Members' Caucus this morning. It appears that many Members felt they were
placed in a tenuous and difficult situation, having to do the assessment of the Languages Commissioner while the Languages Commissioner continued a relationship with a Member of this House. I would like to ask the Law Clerk, even though the conflict of interest guidelines were looked at, is there any basic conflict of interest that may be in place with respect to this issue, for Members' clarification?
