Christian Paradis: Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson

Marcel Aubut Dept: The call comes less than a week after Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson found Paradis had broken government rules by granting privileged access to former Conservative MP Rahim Jaffer's business interests. Christian Paradis is facing fresh ethics allegations, this time concerning his 2009 stay at a hunting lodge owned by Quebec businessman Marcel Aubut. Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press, according to CBC. At that time, Aubut was lobbying for the federal government to help fund a new $400-million hockey arena for Quebec City to help strengthen the case for returning the NHL to the provincial capital. Aubut is now the president of the Canadian Olympic Committee and the opposition is calling for a fresh ethics probe following new allegations about the conduct of federal Industry Minister Christian Paradis. A report Monday revealed that in 2009, Paradis spent two nights in a lodge owned by Quebec businessman Marcel Aubut, the former owner of the Quebec Nordiques hockey franchise.
