The Parliamentary ethics committee has approved a motion to summon Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault and ethics commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein to testify about the minister’s alleged ties to a lobbyist and a medical supply company. Following investigations by Global News, concerns have been raised regarding Boissonnault’s business dealings, including his connections to a lobbyist who secured $110 million in federal grants for a client and his involvement in a PPE company that received $8.2 million in provincial and municipal contracts amidst legal challenges. The committee will examine potential violations of conflict of interest and lobbying laws, with the goal of publicly reporting its findings.
