Mr. Speaker, I would submit that perhaps the reason the Prime Minister has been reluctant to deal with the minister is that he has engaged in similar conduct as the minister. The minister violated the Conflict of Interest Act; the Prime Minister violated the Conflict of Interest Act not once, but twice. In fact, he has the dubious distinction of being the first Prime Minister to be found guilty of violating the Conflict of Interest Act. That may shed light on his reluctance to fire this corrupt minister.
