Mr. Speaker, I would like to try again with the Minister of Justice.
Let us remind ourselves that the PMO handed out $90,000 to keep a senator quiet. We have another provision that is relevant. Section 119 of the Criminal Code states that any person who offers an office holder any money, valuable consideration or employment in respect of anything done or omitted by that person in their official capacity is guilty of an offence.
Does the minister agree that the Prime Minister's former chief of staff may have committed this crime?
