I have been speaking out about this on another forum, but I might as well piss against the wind. There are a minority of individuals who see what is wrong here, but the majority seem to accept it as a "normal operation" as Chretien would say. Have a look at the exchange of letters between the ethics counsellor and the complaintants: Website of the ethics counsellor strategis.ic.gc.ca Read the "evidence" attachment that is used to justify the exoneration: strategis.ic.gc.ca The only thing worthy in this document is this quote from the ethics counsellor: <<<The Code begins with a set of broad principles from which a limited number of rules have been derived. These principles for example state that public office holders must uphold the highest ethical standards, that the performance of their official duties and the arrangements for their private affairs must bear the closest public scrutiny, "an obligation that is not fully discharged by simply acting within the law". A further principle requires that they arrange their private affairs in a manner that will prevent real, potential or apparent conflicts from arising. But if they do arise, they must be resolved in favour of the public interest.>>>
