The $200 fine paid by his <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">Minister of Finance</a> proves otherwise. The Prime Minister's trip to the Aga Khan also proves otherwise. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103789\" data-originallang=\"fr\">One of the problems is the legal framework around the rules. This limits the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's scope of action. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103790\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Instead of finding ways to get around the rules, why does the Prime Minister not agree to strengthen the legislation?</p>",

L'amende de 200 $ \u00e0 son <a data-HoCid=\"214320\" href=\"/politicians/bill-morneau/\" title=\"Bill Morneau\">ministre des Finances</a> nous prouve le contraire. Le voyage du premier ministre chez l'Aga Khan nous prouve aussi le contraire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103789\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Un des probl\u00e8mes, c'est le cadre qui entoure ces r\u00e8gles. Cela limite le champ d'action de la commissaire aux conflits d'int\u00e9r\u00eats et \u00e0 l'\u00e9thique. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5103790\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Plut\u00f4t que de chercher \u00e0 contourner les r\u00e8gles, pourquoi le premier ministre n'accepterait-il pas de donner plus de mordant \u00e0 la loi?</p>"
