Madam Speaker, the member suggested at one point that the debates we are having in the House are meaningless to Canadians and that we could be engaged in meaningful activity. I suggest that the misappropriation of $400 million is not meaningless and Parliament getting to the bottom of it is very valuable to every single Canadian. He also seemed to suggest that he does not clearly understand why a government employee would not be entitled to receive a contract to provide goods or a service to the very department he works in.
Does the member across the way have a clear understanding of what constitutes a conflict of interest?
