Mr. Speaker, as has already been referred to, the Seagram company acquired an 80 per cent interest in the movie giant MCA. Investment Canada may be required to make a ruling as to whether Seagram should be regarded as a Canadian company.

Did the Prime Minister personally know about these meetings? Has he had the ethics commissioner determine that the minister has not once again put himself in a conflict of interest situation?
