All parliamentarians want to help special needs Canadians. This issue is about conflict of interest rules. These rules are in place for very good reasons. Canadians have every right to know if the <a data-HoCid=\"78777\" href=\"/politicians/jim-flaherty/\" title=\"Jim Flaherty\">finance minister</a> has followed these rules to the letter. Has he?</p>",

Ces r\u00e8gles existent pour de tr\u00e8s bonnes raisons.
