Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have trouble with the concept of conflict of interest, so let me help them with an example.
When a senior Environment Canada regulator suddenly becomes the head of a pro-industry oil sands group, there is a pretty obvious conflict there. While the government may want us to believe there is nothing to see here, Canadians are not buying it.
The minister thinks there is no conflict of interest here, so I would ask him to define conflict of interest.
