Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the government took the unprecedented step of tabling two orders concerning DTH satellite distribution which are a direct reversal of the CRTC's decision. One of the orders comes in response to the dearest wishes of the Power DirecTv Group, by allowing the group to use an American satellite. We know that one of the main shareholders and leaders of the group is the Prime Minister's son-in-law.
My question is directed to the Prime Minister. Would he confirm that the chairman of the panel appointed to advise the government in this matter, Mr. Gordon Ritchie, is a former associate of his principal adviser, Mr. Eddie Goldenberg, who intervened directly in this case?
