Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank the hon Minister for her response. In your reply, Minister, you made reference to regulations regarding public servants recusing themselves from matters that could lead to improper personal gain. In fact, too often in the Standing Committee on Public Accounts we encounter incidents where this has not been done. We find that public servants are not recusing themselves when they should do so.
My follow-up question is: What steps is the department taking to ensure that these regulations are indeed enforced, complied with and monitored and that appropriate disciplinary measures are taken against those who transgress them?
