Sir, I believe there are at least 12 retired Supreme Court justices who aren't associated with the Trudeau Foundation like Mr. Iacobucci.

Mr. Iacobucci's law firm, Torys LLP, was also hired. You hired them to assist you. Working for Torys was long-time Liberal donor Sheila Block.

We have you with an association to the Trudeau Foundation. We have Mr. Iacobucci, who is associated with the Trudeau Foundation. We have Ms. Block, who is a lifetime donor and supporter of the Liberal Party, including attending fundraising events with the Prime Minister in recent time. Given all of that, don't you see a conflict of interest?
