Okay.
We have a Prime Minister, whose answer to everything is, “All of my assets are in a blind trust, so everything is okay.” Now, based on your testimony, that isn't sufficient, but there's an even bigger problem, because the Prime Minister set up three multi-billion dollar investment funds, which he registered in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. The Prime Minister is entitled to something called “carried interest pay”. That's, essentially, future bonus pay based upon the performance of those funds.
The Prime Minister picked the companies. He knows what the holdings of these funds are. He's disclosed the three funds, but he has not disclosed what the holdings are in these funds. Therefore, the Prime Minister is not being transparent about potential conflicts of interest.
Would you concur that, even if the Prime Minister isn't technically, by law, under the Conflict of Interest Act, required to disclose the holdings of those funds that he set up, in the interest of transparency, he should?
