Mr. Speaker, specificity does matter in this case.
The minister promised an independent investigation. However, this morning the Prime Minister defended his good friend and top fundraiser, stating he was satisfied with the assurances he received from Mr. Bronfman. The Prime Minister's political interference on behalf of his close friend is a clear signal to investigators that there is one rule for Liberals and another one for everyone else.
Could the minister confirm that the Prime Minister has pardoned Mr. Bronfman of any wrongdoing?
