Mr. Speaker, it is a well known fact on the hill that no one understands anything, except the Minister of Industry, who understands everything. In fact, everyone in Canada and Quebec understands that there was a minister of this government in Mr. Bronfman's suite, when the most important deal in media history was struck. Everyone can understand that. The only one who does not understand is the Minister of Industry.
I would like to ask the acting Prime Minister how he can deny that the Minister of Canadian Heritage put himself in a conflict of interest situation since, by a pure coincidence once again, input from the Department of Canadian Heritage is required to help Investment Canada analyze the transaction between Seagram and MCA and its implications.
