The federal ethics commissioner has opened an investigation into the conduct of International Trade Minister Mary Ng over a contract given to a company co-founded by a Liberal strategist.

Conservative MP James Bezan had asked commissioner Mario Dion to examine the contract awarded to the firm Pomp and Circumstance by Ng's office for media training in spring 2020.

The Tories point to a tweet Alvaro posted in July 2018, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shuffled his cabinet and promoted Ng to his inner circle. In her tweet, Alvaro shared a photo of herself with her arm around Ng, saying she was celebrating her "dear friend."In his initial request for an investigation,Bezan pointed to several sections of the Conflict of Interest Act which he said Dion could investigate to see if any rules were broken.

Really? Who's surprised More liberal_party corruption!!

Amanda Alvaro was always the Liberal representative on almost every political panel on cbc for years. I'm pretty sure she owns Pomp and Circumstance. She was always mentioning it on those panels.

ANOTHER scandal!!!

More Liberal scandal?

LOL! CTV, the network that has already announced (pronounced?) the winner of the ON election. Take all this with a dose of salt.

This is what Liberals do.

Strange how this makes news but a conservative premier under investigation doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pretty sure the firm was co-founded by her 'bestie'
