Thank you very much for that clarification, Minister. I'm sure Mr. Barrett appreciates it as well.
Minister Boissonnault, I'll switch to French.
My constituents in Châteauguay—Lacolle, soon to be Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville, are very interested in this issue because they hear a lot about what one might call “fake scandals”. They ask me what's going on in Ottawa when there's a conflict of interest or something fishy.
Every MP who comes to Ottawa goes over their public and private interests with the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. An MP may own or have owned a company or a portfolio of shares and properties, for example. Some MPs own a lot of properties. I imagine that analyzing the situation takes much longer for some than for others.
Can you tell us how that process works?
