Charbonneau Commission: Pauline Marois

Pauline Marois: Evidence at the Charbonneau Commission, which is looking into the construction industry, suggested the Quebec Federation of Labour was ready to lobby Marois and the Parti Quebecois in 2009 to put a stop to any future corruption probe, according to Huffington Post. "No agreement was reached, there was no deal, as they say," Marois said with a laugh during a press briefing in Davos, Switzerland, where she was attending the World Economic Summit and Switzerland - Premier Pauline Marois defiantly denied Wednesday that her husband ever struck a deal with Quebec's largest labour federation to protect that union's interests and thwart a potential corruption inquiry. Marois said no such intervention took place and that she was never pressured by the federation's directors. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
