The Prime Minister said that in May 1994. He said that he would search out an ethics commissioner who would create the code of ethics.
He did not confer with the leader of the opposition or the leader of the Reform Party. We were the third party then. We are now the official opposition. Not only did he not fulfil that promise, but now he says that there is a code of ethics he is unable or unwilling to present to the House.
In short, the conclusion I draw is that there must be something the Prime Minister is not telling us about this code of ethics.
