Mr. Speaker, it is indeed difficult for me, as it is for him.
However, the minister himself had his son get involved. It is his office that produced a copy of the cheque signed by his daughter-in-law. Finally, it is the ethics counsellor himself, the Prime Minister's own employee, who pointed the finger at the political staff and showed that three ministerial offices were involved in this matter.
Is this not proof that an independent inquiry is absolutely necessary?
