In June 1995, the House passed a motion to establish a Special Joint Committee of the House and Senate to develop a Code of Conduct. The following month, the Senate passed a similar motion. More than 19 months later, the Committee presented to Parliament its proposed Code of Official Conduct. The Committee emphasized the following as important goals for the Code : the maintenance of public trust and confidence in Parliament, and the provision of guidance for Parliamentarians in how to reconcile their private interests with their public duties. Specific rules were proposed for Parliamentarians which would have prohibited them from furthering their own private interests or those of their families, and from using insider information; the rules would also have regulated the receipt of gifts and personal benefits, sponsored travel and contracting with the government.

While certain characteristics of each consultant trust fund differ, in general terms the consultant trust funds are a means of furthering dialogue and collaboration between CIDA and the Multilateral Development Banks(MDBs) and exposing Canadian expertise to the MDBs. Overall administration and management of the consultant trust funds rests with the MDB itself based on guidelines to which it has agreed with CIDA. This includes identification of possible assignments, and selection and contracting of consultants. Rates of untying vary; the trust fund at the Asian Development Bank is completely untied, but the common rate of untying is to allow 25 percent of our contributions to be used to finance consultants from borrowing member countries or from donor countries who maintain similarly untied trust funds at the MDBs.

The emphasis is put on the mimicking of organotypical conditions and on the acquisition of data to be used for guided tissue development and differentiation in both space and terrestrial conditions. In addition to this core cultivation subunit, a powerful diagnostics subunit allows for dedicated tools adapted to the tissue undergoing testing.
