Mr. Speaker, my colleague describes it quite accurately. It is massive.
I come from a lifetime of municipal politics, and in municipal law and municipal government, a conflict of interest is an incredibly serious thing. People can be removed from office for a conflict of interest, because representing the people is a sacred trust and any single conflict of interest is a breach of that trust. It is a betrayal of the people who they represent, who they serve.
Imagine hundreds of conflicts of interest and a minister who appoints somebody to chair a board when he was warned not to do it because they were in conflict. The minister did not care. He broke that sacred trust.
