Mr. Speaker, yesterday we were concerned about the judgment of the Minister of Canadian Heritage. Today we are concerned about conflicting statements by the Prime Minister who yesterday said: "I consulted. I consulted with the ethics counsellor". Today he is saying: "I asked somebody else to go and see him and see what he said". This is a discrepancy and I am very concerned.
The Mulroney government was not known for setting high standards but at least when it had a problem it was dealt with immediately. This Prime Minister has not.
I ask him to ask his minister to resign immediately and clear the air.
