Mr. Speaker, it is important to know how much it cost, because if the minister paid $500 for a luxury vacation worth $15,000, there is a problem.
At the very least, there is an apparent conflict of interest. To be sailing in the Caribbean with the former president of the Brewers Association of Canada, who is still an adviser with the association, days after making a decision unfavourable to the microbreweries, reeks if not of apparent conflict of interest, then of plain conflict of interest.
