Mr. Speaker, here is a very simple mathematical equation: if A equals B, and B equals C, then A equals C.
I will explain: A, the Minister of Finance gives $400 million to Bombardier; B, Bombardier is a client of Morneau Shepell; C, the Minister of Finance has received $65,000 or more from Morneau Shepell every month since becoming a minister. As a mathematician would say, QED: what was to be demonstrated.
What will it take for the minister to understand that he is in a direct conflict of interest?
