Mr. Speaker, in a letter dated April 12, 1994, Mr. Howard R. Wilson the Assistant Deputy Registrar General and candidate for the position of Liberal ethics counsellor in response to a request for guidance on this possible conflict stated that he was satisfied the company was "administered blindly and at arm's length to the member". Yet one of the directors listed is the father of the member with whom he shares and co-owns a residence.
Does this qualify in the opinion of the government as an arm's length relationship?
