Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has made a commitment, both in the throne speech and in his excellent speech in the House of Commons a few days ago, to submit a proposal to the House concerning an ethics counsellor. I trust that we shall have the support of all members for its adoption.
Need I remind the hon. member that I myself moved, last June, in this very House, to refer this matter to a parliamentary committee. I was not given the consent of certain opposition members to do so.
