Mr. Speaker, that is an outrageous assertion.
In fact, the hon. member should know that anyone involved with the Prime Minister's transition team followed strict rules established by the ethics counsellor. At no time were those people in a position of conflict of interest, nor are they now in a position of conflict of interest.
I want to remind the hon. member that it is this Prime Minister and this government that has committed to, and delivered on, a higher level of transparency and accountability.
