Yvon Godin at the Subcommittee on Disclosure Forms under the Conflict of Interest Code

For instance, someone who owes the government $50,000 in taxes comes to my office, a citizen whom I do not know at all. He tells me that he is unable to pay $50,000 and asks me to speak to the Minister of Finance and try to convince him to waive the penalties, interests, etc. to help him pay his debt. This involves a substantial sum of money.
