Tony Clement owns shares in a private pharma company. Some people think that puts him in a conflict of interest.
According to PoliticsWatch.com, Tony thinks it's "none of your business!" Tony says he has taken the advice of the Ethics Commissioner and that he shouldn't be taking ethics lessons from Liberals.
A bit odd though.
Only a few months ago, his boss Harper was calling the Ethics Commissioner a "liberal appointee."
So I guess, Tony is taking ethics lessons from a liberal... but I digress...
Me? I think he should keep his shares. He's followed the Ethic Commish's ruling, and we should all get on with our lives.
But no-one voted for me. What do our duly elected leaders have to say...?
"The one way to clear this thing up is to get rid of the company, " said Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Monte Soleberg to Louise Elliot at CP.
Ooops, I am sorry, Monte was talking about CSL and Paul Martin's kids owning the company on February 6, 2004.... what a difference an election makes...
Uh-oh ... here come the "principles of convenience" again ...
Here is a blogger challenge - let's see who can come up with another Tory urging a liberal to sell due to risk of conflict of interest....
