Mr. Speaker, last fall the Conservative Party revealed a potential case of influence peddling within a ministerial office of the Government of Canada.
At that time the President of the Treasury Board denied that his office had any connection to the illegal activities going on. At that time it was still under investigation.
Today in a Montreal courtroom it was confirmed that Liberal Party worker and fundraiser Pierre Corbeil pleaded guilty to charges of influence peddling.
Can the minister repeat to the House today that no one in his office had any connection with the illegal activities of Pierre Corbeil?
