Mr. Speaker, the new Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner has just barely been nominated and he is already in hot water.
First, we learned that the work that he did on two case files when he held a similar position in the past was criticized, but even more importantly, he is refusing to confirm whether he will pursue the investigations into the Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister himself that are currently under way.
I thought we usually hired an investigator to get to the bottom of a crime, not to cover the offender's tracks.
Is wiping the slate clean and starting fresh the Liberals' new way of dealing with crises?
