Mr. Speaker, the ethics commissioner who, as we know, is an employee of the Prime Minister, stated on the CBC program Disclosure that, during his meetings with the directors of Canada Steamship Lines, the former Finance Minister and future Prime Minister was always very happy to hear how good business was for CSL. The blind trust agreement, however, allows for such meetings only in exceptional and extraordinary circumstances, that is, when things are going badly.
Therefore, if all was going well at CSL, how does the Prime Minister justify all these meetings?
