Thank you.
This a news story that has raised a lot of concerns. The Conservatives believe that by studying this in a timely fashion, bringing forward and asking these questions.... We've seen before that the CIB seems to have its own criteria, and I think we need to investigate it. We've seen before, in previous decisions, that “made in Canada” was not part of its regime.
We think that, in this case, for the public trust—meaning people feel these public entities, whether they are Crown corporations or government agencies, should abide by certain rules around conflict of interest—if we have the various groups come in, including the minister's office and the CIB, as well as inviting the company itself, we can publicly address this, and we think this is the proper forum for such a discussion.
