Mr. Speaker, this morning the Minister of Health told me to shut up. I will not shut up.
The evidence is piling up. It is now clear that the Minister of Health has, in the past, had a sometimes close relationship with Apotex.
This morning I asked the minister if he had informed the Prime Minister about his previous connection with Apotex but he refused to reply. Instead, he panicked.
Could the Prime Minister tell us whether he was advised by his minister that the latter's relationship with Apotex might create the perception of conflict of interest, even before the Minister of Health broke the Patent Act?
