It seems to me that's a situation that should be addressed and dealt with by a code of conduct, or a law, or something so that people cannot run around and say they work for the Prime Minister of Canada, and he thinks this or he thinks that. Who knows whether they are speaking the truth and whether in fact they are representing the public interest or the Prime Minister's wishes, and so on? As it stands, of course, the Prime Minister now can say “No, no, I never authorized that statement to be made”. There's just no encadrement that I can see for this staff. I think that's something that is a matter of concern.
