Again, it's necessary to determine the context in which the parliamentary secretary acted. Often, the decision has nothing to do with their role as parliamentary secretary and is simply made as part of their role as an MP. For example, when an MP is consulted with regard to the awarding of government grants, the MP, not the parliamentary secretary, is involved. The situation is then analyzed according to the conflict of interest code for MPs.
We've already seen situations of this nature. It's always necessary to determine the person's role in order to find out which instrument applies. A parliamentary secretary and an MP must do the same thing. That's why I said that it's complex and that it's necessary to develop the right responses and to understand the conflict of interest rules in order to avoid violations and issues.
