Mr. Speaker, the position of Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner will soon be vacant and we do not know whether the Liberals have even started a clear and transparent process to find a replacement. Transferring the appointment responsibilities from the Prime Minister’s office to the Government House Leader’s office is a thinly veiled ploy.
Can the Prime Minister confirm that the selection criteria for the next Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner will be the same ones used to pick the new Commissioner of Official Languages, that is, be in the Liberal family and a generous Liberal donor?
