Mr. Speaker, the former heritage minister violated section 23, clause 1, of the conflict of interest code for public office holders in his dinner for dollars scandal.
The former minister of defence violated section 23, clause 3, of this same code when he gave a former campaign pal over $150,000 in untendered government contracts.
And the youth minister violated section 3, clause 9, of this code when she improperly used her government credit card.
Why were these clear violations of a code that we know exists allowed to go unchecked?
