Mr. Speaker, that is very interesting because the fisheries minister is also the Prime Minister's point man on litigation involving the government, and his job is to manage all the legal action the government is facing. When a huge law firm comes calling to ask him to be the guest of honour at a reception and it boasts and bills him as a trusted adviser of the Prime Minister, there should have been some alarm bells.
How could the fisheries minister not realize that this is a conflict of interest? Where is his judgment?
