Mr. Speaker, with that type of response it is legitimately in the public interest to know where the Prime Minister gets his advice on these important foreign affairs matters.
I do not fault the Prime Minister's family ties with his nephew, our Ambassador to France, or with Paul Demarais Sr. who is the largest individual shareholder of France's largest corporation, Total Fina Elf, which has billions of dollars of contracts with Saddam's former regime.
With this valuable source of information and experience at his fingertips, has the Prime Minister ever discussed Iraq or France with his family or friends in the Demarais empire?
