First, Mr. Speaker, let me say that the parliamentary secretary in question is doing a terrific job of serving Canadians.
Members of the government regularly and obligatorily do a full public disclosure of all of their financial interests. That is not to suggest they are automatically biased by those interests, but there is a belief that the public should be able to judge those interests against the actions and the statements of the members of the government.
That principle is a fair one. It is about transparency, and I think it should work before the committee in question.
