Mr. Speaker, Canada is cursed by a Prime Minister who tarnished that man's reputation by involving him in this scandal. The Prime Minister cannot be the one to decide how to investigate this scandal, because he benefited from it. David Johnston cannot decide either, because he is a family friend and a long-time member of the Trudeau Foundation. Frank Iacobucci cannot be the one to sign off on David Johnston's role, because he is part of the Trudeau Foundation as well. Those are conflicts of interest. Why is it that whenever the best interests of Canadians conflict with the political interests of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister always chooses himself?

Mr. Speaker, his loyalty should be to the people of Canada and the elected members of this place, not to the Prime Minister. This House voted non-confidence, and Canadians have no confidence in the so-called special rapporteur because he is in a conflict. He is a lifelong friend of the Prime Minister and a former member of the Beijing-financed Trudeau Foundation. Yesterday, he admitted that he does not work for Canadians; he works for the Prime Minister. Why will the Prime Minister not acknowledge this blatant conflict of interest and fire his fake rapporteur?
