Mr. Chairman, there are two things that might come into play here. One is that you can have conditions that may be bona fide occupational requirements, and if there is a pressing concern that you do not hire your family member, then maybe you do not hire a family member. In the normal course of events, you cannot prefer your family member now. If you are a business and you...well, unless you are the owner of a business, so if you are a politician, you cannot prefer your family member, but perhaps there would be some weighing of whether a family member, for example, a brother would be treated the same as other people. But one has to look at conflict rules as well, so maybe you cannot be doing the hiring, if that is the situation. So there are a lot of factors that would come into play with this condition.
