Statement by the Prime Minister on the Ethics Commissioner's report

March 20, 2006
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today responded to the release of the Ethics Commissioner’s report.

“This was never an ethics issue. Today, the Ethics Commissioner has confirmed that there was not even a basis for an investigation – this comes as no surprise.

The attacks on David Emerson have, since his appointment, been nothing more than a partisan effort to demean his fine record of public service.”
