Mr. Speaker, please forbid members from singing. Moving on, I have some big news: The Prime Minister has had no direct or indirect contact with the Trudeau Foundation for 10 years. Remind me not to go to his Christmas party, because I am guessing that it must be fairly tense. We now know that five deputy ministers were recruited to go to the Prime Minister's office to talk to the Trudeau Foundation. He must have been at least a little bit curious. Ignorance is not a virtue for a prime minister. What was decided at that meeting?

Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister, Lib.)

Mr. Speaker, as we have said before in the House, neither I nor my staff were present at that meeting. It was a meeting that took place with public servants in a building where public servants work. The member opposite may not understand that, after a decade of the Harper government, the lines were blurred between the government and the public service and the Prime Minister's Office. However, we are keeping them separate, and we will continue to do the work that Canadians expect us to do.
