Today we are concerned about conflicting statements by the Prime Minister who yesterday said: \"I consulted. I consulted with the ethics counsellor\". Today he is saying: \"I asked somebody else to go and see him and see what he said\". This is a discrepancy and I am very concerned.</p>\n<p>The Mulroney government was not known for setting high standards but at least when it had a problem it was dealt with immediately. This Prime Minister has not.</p>\n<p>I ask him to ask his minister to resign immediately and clear the air.</p>",
