Mr. Flaherty, with all due respect, I appreciate the pro bono or one-dollar work that individuals like Mr. Love and others do. My concern is with whether the government, in general, and you as a minister, have followed appropriate processes. Nothing that I said was intended to say anything negative about Mr. Love.
I can tell you that my earlier issue with the Ethics Commissioner was not intended to be personally negative about anyone, you or your family, and I regret--
