Mr. Speaker, the minister still has outstanding questions in front of the ethics counsellor.
Frankly, the Prime Minister or the new leader should be able to say whether these standards are acceptable to the government.
I am asking the question again, because we have asked questions but we have not yet got any answers.
The industry minister continues to give his prerecorded answers, scripted in advance. It is inappropriate for him to shirk this responsibility.
Has he consulted the new Liberal leader in order to determine whether his conduct meets the government's ethical standards?
