Mr. Speaker, in a statement here in the House on March 23, the Prime Minister stated that his interest in the Grand-Mère golf course had been placed in a blind trust.
The ethics counsellor has told us “Yes, the Prime Minister was involved in negotiations to obtain payment”. This is my question for the Prime Minister.
Will the Prime Minister admit that his intervention, his personal intervention in negotiations to sell his shares, is contrary to the very nature of a blind trust, and thus gives a serious appearance of conflict of interest?
