There's a concern raised with this conflict of interest department. It goes in there. That's what they're there for. They exist to do that. This is about as blatant, as simple as it can get.
I'm as far away from being a lawyer as you can humanly get, and I understand it. So I'm having a great deal of trouble understanding how something like this could be ignored or avoided or not dealt with. How could that be? How in any ministry right now could a conflict of interest that is so obvious not be dealt with by the people who are there to pick up on these things?
How can that happen? You're the deputy. Tell me how that can happen.
