With reference to the recommendation that legal be a permanent member of the PDAC, is it a conflict of interest having that said person who would have advised on and drafted contracts also be a member of PDAC?

Where a conflict of interest may arise, the public body must elect an alternate member of the Corporate Secretariat/Legal Department to sit on the PDAC. The OPR recommends that the Legal representative be the chairperson of the PDAC.
