Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday the Prime Minister was bullying opposition members for asking questions about conflicts of interest, but it turns out he was just bluffing. Today he accuses opposition members of having benefited from HRD grants going into their ridings when no one has presented a shred of evidence of a personal financial benefit on the part of a member of the opposition from a grant made in their riding.
The Prime Minister denies ownership of the shares of the numbered company in question that did business with Mr. Gauthier and Mr. Duhaime, but the ethics commissioner said that the code requires that a declaration be made stating that his company has a 25% interest in the golf club. If he does have an interest, how can there not be a conflict of interest?
