“The minister set up rules to avoid a conflict of interest with Alto. But his department hired a budget contractor connected to Alto. Did those same rules apply to this contractor?”
“Mr. Chair, the minister told Canadians that he had a conflict of interest screen because he believed there would be one if he participated in debates, discussions, decisions or votes related to Alto, but the minister’s department then hired an outside contractor for the budget who appears to have been connected to Alto. Did a conflict of interest screen apply to that contractor?”
