Mr. Speaker, thanks to the efforts of the Conservative opposition, a public statement was made on October 1, confirming that an investigation into allegations of influence peddling was indeed under way.
Last week, charges were laid by the RCMP—a very serious business. Unfortunately, there is a missing link in all this: Who gave the information to the person who was charged? The missing link could be sitting across the way.
In order to preserve the integrity of this government and this House, I would ask the President of the Treasury Board whether he can confirm before this House that no employee of his Montreal office was interrogated by the RCMP or directly linked to the investigation.
