Mr. Speaker, as I have said before—and now repeat—the ethics counsellor did not, according to the rules put in place by the Conservative government, require the debt to be put into a trust, because it had been contracted before I became Prime Minister.
At a certain point, I needed money. I wanted to find out whether the debt had been paid. It had not, so I called the ethics counsellor. He told me that this was not something I had to declare and that I had declared.
