Mr. Speaker, the person in question has been on leave of absence for a year and a half. During his leave of absence, he does work for Health Canada and does not speak on behalf of Health Canada.
That being said, I am aware of the hon. member's concerns about this matter, and I have asked my deputy minister to look into the matter in order to give everyone the assurance that the conflict of interest guidelines for the Public Service have not been circumvented.
