Right. I understand.
I'll just conclude by saying, on the other subject, that if Prime Minister Harper found out that one of his caucus members was taking private fees to provide constituency services like immigration help or employment insurance help, he would have one question for them: “Did you like civics class in high school? Because you're history.” And that would be the end of it. They'd be out of caucus.
I assume that's true of any party in this House of Commons. The idea of accepting any sort of payment for private benefit, to carry out work related to your public duties, would be a firing offence in any organization, as far as I see it.
