I think that's quite a statement, Mr. Lukiwski. I know I've maybe made some mistakes. I've taken responsibility for those mistakes. I've tried to do the best job I can embarking on a private sector endeavour. I think you've known me long enough to know that I've never asked for anything from any member of this government in trying to do that.
I'm quite surprised and shocked that I'm being treated in this capacity, given that I've always tried to respect what we established when we were elected together with the Accountability Act and the Lobbying Act. Now it seems that despite some of these allegations, we're being completely hung out to dry, without any real evidence that we've done anything wrong.
I'm looking forward to the commissioner of lobbying doing her thorough review and responding as to whether or not we've done anything wrong. As we said at the outset, this is something she is best suited to deal with. I'm confident that in the behaviour and actions I've tried to take with my business, I've been following the highest standards possible without causing any conflict for anybody.
