On the recordSeptember 24, 1996
As I understand it, the other side was talking about follow the rule of law. After the Jim Wright case, and correct me, the gentleman was on the Ethics Committee, there were problems and they did not want the same problems to resurface. While the Democrats were in power, they rewrote the rules on ethics. What I was trying to get to during the parliamentary inquiry before, is it not correct that the rule we are following today was written when the Democrats were in the majority?
