Mr. Speaker, are these ethical standards if the Liberals cannot even enforce the bare minimum they should be following?
The Prime Minister is showing his contempt for the House, which is calling for explanations for his ethical lapses and those of his government.
However, the facts are clear. This Prime Minister is still under investigation for his trip to the Aga Khan's private island. The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner has identified one, two, three, four minsters who are using the loophole in the Conflict of Interest Act.
The commissioner is also concerned about the role the minister played in Bill C-27. This government said that it would live up to the highest ethical standards.
Why then can the government not even enforce the bare minimum?
