Personal relationship? Isn’t it his wife wife like the vice president?
To Liberals, yes, conflicts of interest and corruption are day-to-day regular politics as usual. No scrutiny or accountability needed.
If he did nothing wrong why did the liberal party feel the need to do everything in their power to stop Francois Phillipe Champagne from being called as a witness in committee. They conducted a filibuster that went on for hours.
The words and actions do not seem to be matching.
Greasy little chihuahua
How does the fact that Alto is a crown corp play into this?

To the Liberals, corruption and nepotism are „just politics“ and nothing to worry about. Probably why, in the last thirty years, they’ve given us AdScam, the We Charity funding scandal, ArriveScam, and now this. All of which are (or in the case of the We Charity mees, had the potential to be) multi-million dollar cases of corruption where the Liberal Party got kickbacks from the beneficiaries.
No wonder the Liberals wanted a majority so bad. They didn’t want the light shining on their malfeasance yet again. They’d rather the public remain ignorant of their action.
private companies should not be involved in building or designing the train – can we all agree with that?
I’m still trying to figure out why conservatives are trying to paint „the crown corp built for a big high speed rail project has been contracted for the big high speed rail project“ as somehow being corruption.
Based on the uninformed comments here, I guess some people buy into the slop.
Just get rid of Champagne and continue with the Alto project. He’s incompetent.
I see people have already deleted it from their memory … Francois Philippe Champagne and the green slush fund.
This newest interaction may not be anything to see here, but anything this guy is involved in is tainted in my opinion.
This guy, as well as the other gang at the round table of thieves, is unprincipled and morally bankrupt. They are always looking to provide the most benefit to themselves and their friends.
The Ethics Commissioner saying there’s foul play here because Champagne doesn’t control HR decisions at Alto sounds like politics. Needs to be investigated.
Watch the Liberal majority and the friendly media bury this quickly. Now let’s go back and talk about some obscure Pollieve commend and debate it for a week.
Consider that none of the allegations against Ford and his friends getting insider information to profit from tax payers were investigated.
In the voice of the African politician meme on YouTube saying: „Corruption is not bad, if I’m not involved. But if I’m involved, I defend it“. CHAMPAGNE PROBABLY
Corruption will never end with these corrupt liberal MPs.
Conflict of interest IS “just politics” to this administration, they’ve proved it time and time again with conflict of interest scandals through the years
