Mr. Speaker, it is simply not accurate to say the Ethics Commissioner has cleared the minister.
In fact, the minister has not been forthcoming with the Ethics Commissioner, just as he has not been forthcoming with the committee. He was supposed to turn over his phone devices to the Ethics Commissioner. He did not do that. He only turned over one phone, and then when he got caught, he turned over another phone. He does not appear to have advised the Ethics Commissioner that he had been in contact with Anderson at the time in question.
There are a lot of questions that have not been answered. We need to get to the bottom of this.
