Mr. Speaker, I would expect that the minister would be well aware of what the rules are anyway.
Yesterday, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs said:
There is nothing preventing members of Parliament, backbench MPs, as he would have been classified at the time, or even today, from engaging in activities outside of their parliamentary responsibilities.
Will the justice minister remind that member and all other government members who do not seem to be clear on what the law is, that it is illegal for MPs to accept money to make interventions on a government file? Even a 10-year-old knows that.
