Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister knows that is playing very tightly with what the ethics counsellor said.
The government knew the Holland College dealings constituted a conflict of interest three years ago. It knew that when the Holland College dealings were raised in the House last May and June by several members of the opposition and yet the former solicitor general, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Prime Minister assured the House that no conflict existed.
Why did the Prime Minister mislead the House on this critical matter?
