“These accusations are not true. The Prime Minister follows Canada's strict ethics rules, which were created by the Conservatives. He put his assets in a blind trust as soon as he became party leader. Meanwhile, the Conservative leader has spent 20 years in Parliament without a security clearance.”
“Mr. Speaker, of course those accusations are ridiculous. Just like us, the 343 members of this House, the Prime Minister has abided by some of the strictest rules in the entire world. These rules were put in place by the Conservatives and Mr. Harper. The Prime Minister placed all of his assets in a blind trust on the day he was elected leader of the Liberal Party, even before he became Prime Minister. Contrast that with the Leader of the Opposition, who has spent 20 years in the House without a security clearance.”
