Description
During its hearings, the Special Joint Committee on the Code of Conduct heard suggestions for a written code of ethics for parliamentarians from academics, ethics commissioners and other witnesses. In November 1995, the Committee heard from a lobbyist who explained her company's experience with a code of conduct and suggested parliamentarians could also benefit from a written code. A code of conduct is just a piece of paper. It is how you live with it in a fluid way and as issues arise that make it real. Certainly, we are in a period in which all public institutions are undergoing a process of renovation and reinvention. Parliamentarians face major challenges and have significant opportunities to be leaders in this process; however, I do not think we can reinvent our institutions without first admitting their imperfections and failings.
