Mr. Speaker, it looks like the President of the Treasury Board has decided all on his own that he is above the rules.
He used to be the chair of SeaFort Capital, a major company in Atlantic Canada that is backed by powerful families in the region. When he joined cabinet, his husband replaced him on the board.
Canadians will not believe that these families and this corporation have no influence on this minister.
What is stopping the President of the Treasury Board from doing the right thing and putting up a screen to end this obvious conflict?
