Lobby Trudeau: Fundraisers and Government Ministers

lobby trudeau: Ambrose alleges the events show the Liberals have failed to keep a clear separation between their roles as government ministers and political fundraisers, according to National Observer. And she says there appears to have been several examples where the Conflict of Interest Act, the Lobbying Act and Lobbyist Code of Conduct seem to have been violated. And she says some of those who have attended several of the fundraisers have openly acknowledged using the events to lobby Trudeau or other senior Liberals on issues in which they have a financial stake. Dawson has already said the fundraisers are unsavoury, but she has no legal authority to rule on them. Sherman subsequently withdrew his involvement from the event. Shepherd has confirmed she has launched an investigation into at least one fundraiser in which the chairman of generic drug giant Apotex, Barry Sherman, was involved in selling tickets to the event, which featured Finance Minister Bill Morneau.
