At the outset of his government Mr Trudeau set new standards for transparency and expectations for his new cabinet members and took the public bows. for this new government virtue.   "Justin Trudeau has warned his 30 ministers that he will judge their professional and personal conduct to the highest standard, saying that following the rules will not be enough to remain in his cabinet.... 'You must uphold the highest standards of honesty and impartiality, and both the performance of your official duties and the arrangement of your private affairs should bear the closest public scrutiny. This is an obligation that is not fully discharged by simply acting within the law,' Mr. Trudeau told his ministers." Globe and Mail, November 13, 2015
