Trudeau: Trudeau Government and Ministers

trudeau: What it preaches is admirable, according to Toronto Star. When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office almost one year ago, he gave his ministers mandate letters that emphasized they must observe the highest ethical standards in everything you do. Thu., Oct. 20, 2016 A troubling gap is opening up between what the Trudeau government preaches on ethics and access and what it practices. In particular, he told them not to let anyone buy influence. And to top it off, the prime minister told his ministers to err on the side of caution. Specifically, they were told to abide by the principle that there should be no preferential access to government, or appearance of preferential access, accorded to individuals or organizations because they have made financial contributions to politicians and political parties.
