Mr. Speaker, these are family friends. My father was godfather to one of their children. Their father was godfather to one of my brothers. These are family friends we have had for many decades, close to 50 years. Over those 50 years, I have been to that vacation spot many times with my family, including with my father when he was still alive. Of course, we worked with the Ethics Commissioner to make sure all rules were followed, and we followed all the practices in regard to prime ministerial travel, including, unfortunately, having security along with us, which is a requirement for all prime ministers of any party.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are once again attempting to peddle conspiracy theories. That fact is that we will always continue to respect the recommendations of the Ethics Commissioner when it comes to my trips and personal travel. I can also reiterate that it has been 10 years since I have had any direct or indirect involvement with the Trudeau Foundation.
