Mr. Speaker, although the Prime Minister promised a different kind of government, he has no problem with his Minister of Justice participating in a Liberal Party fundraiser at $500 a plate. However, the ministers' guide, Open and Accountable Government, is very clear: there should be no preferential access to government, or appearance of preferential access, in exchange for political contributions.
Can the Prime Minister tell us why he is not able to follow the rules that he, himself, set?
