Mr. Speaker, I really am reluctant to get down to the level of reply that is required here, except to set the facts straight.
First, the former minister of finance has complied with all the regulations and all the required procedures by the ethics commissioner. The fact is that he is not involved in the day to day management of that particular company.
However, to set the record straight, that company was fined by the government for an infringement of the law. That is not a special favour.
