Mr. Speaker, every minister in every circumstance has sought the opinion of the ethics counsellor. Mr. Wilson has appeared regularly before committees and has explained all the procedural rules he followed. He has made himself readily available for press questioning.
I believe Mr. Wilson is doing a good job. Before him, the position did not exist; now there is someone who can speak on behalf of the ministers, on behalf of the administration, even on behalf of MPs, when a conflict of this nature arises. This ensures the openness required by everyone, as well as respect for the private affairs of each member of the House of Commons.
