Mr. Speaker, the law is the law, but the finance minister's motto seems to be, “do as I say, not as I do”.
The purpose of the Conflict of Interest Act is to prevent any abuse by people who may have something to hide in numbered companies, for example. In this case, the Minister of Finance really seems to believe that he is above the law, as though the law does not apply to people like him and the Prime Minister.
How many other numbered companies does the Minister of Finance own, and what is he hiding in them?
