Mr. Speaker, I totally reject the premise of the hon. member's question.
The ethics counsellor reported on this matter and clearly stated in a press release dated March 1, 2001, in connection with the company, in which the Prime Minister had an interest, as follows:
The company sold its interests in the Auberge Grand-Mère to Mr. Yvon Duhaime. This company was paid in full by the summer of 1993.
Therefore, there were no continuing financial links between Mr. Duhaime and the Prime Minister after the middle of 1993.
