Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the member on his cottage. I mean no disrespect to him, but I imagine it might not be quite apples to apples with that of the former finance minister, Mr. Morneau.
It is interesting that the member talks about the establishment of the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. That was an establishment set up by the former Conservative government under former Prime Minister Harper, as was the Director of Public Prosecutions. Both of these offices ended up serving as traps that the Liberals walked right into. The DPP stopped the Prime Minister from criminally interfering in a prosecution, though he attempted to, and that was the subject of the “Trudeau Report II”. Of course the first “Trudeau Report” was his first foray into breaking ethics laws. He is now under investigation for a third time. The office is doing the work it needs to do. Certainly it gets lots of business from the Liberal Prime Minister.
