I'll say this only for example purposes—I'm not trying to score any cheap political points—but we had a sitting prime minister, a former prime minister, whose family had controlling interest in Canada Steamship Lines. So it would seem to me that in that particular case, even though that was held in a blind trust, that would have more bearing on whether or not there was a conflict of interest because of both his position and the value of the shares, than some individual member who might have had a $1000 invested in the same company.
