Mr. Speaker, the member is assuming that there was a violation of ethics.
We have made it quite clear that the Liberal Party and the Prime Minister support public participation in the fundraising process. We have no problem with the fact that MacMillan Bloedel gave the Reform Party $10,000 last year. We would never suggest that a donation from MacMillan Bloedel or
Canadian Pacific or Imperial Oil had an influence on their policies.
It is a very open and transparent process. We support it. We think the public across the country believes that there should be public participation in fundraising. We do not accept that as a violation of any ethical standard.
