Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister often refers to his ethics counsellor as the ultimate tool to evaluate the behaviour of his ministers.
We now have a situation where, in the opinion of the information commissioner, the Minister of Human Resources Development violated an act of parliament to protect himself from political damage.
Since the defence strategy used by the Minister of Human Resources Development is to feign indifference and to plead carelessness, would the Prime Minister not be well advised to submit this case to his ethics counsellor?
