In 2022, someone named ‘Randy’ allegedly texted cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault’s former business partner about a PPE deal. Boissonnault denies it was him.

engaged with his former business partner on deals a year after he joined the federal cabinet, but Boissonnault denies that he’s the “Randy” referenced in the exchange.with Boissonnault in early 2020, and Malvina Ghaoui, the principal of The Ghaoui Group, LLC, a California-based personal protective equipment procurement company.

In another text to Ghaoui sent 30 minutes later, Anderson said he had consulted with “Randy” and GHI employees over the phone regarding the deposit, “I have spoken to Shawna, Felix and Randy again … We are following up again at 1440 on allocations and will determine what we need to do as an organization.”When asked if he worked with another Randy, Anderson stated that he did, but would not disclose the employee’s full name. He said the other Randy was ‘head of logistics.

“We have had no direct communication with Mr. Boissonnault at any point in our dealings with Stephen and the companies,” the representative wrote. Boissonnault’s office would not provide Global News with his resignation letter. Under federal law, cabinet ministers cannot serve as directors of companies and their resignations must be in writing.

Court documents dispute that statement. A lawsuit, filed by supplier Patterson Dental against GHI about two weeks after Boissonnault’s re-election, claims the company did not pay 15 invoices between November 2020 and January 2021 totalling $384,250.Global Health Imports’ contact page on Nov. 30, 2021, captured by the Wayback Machine, a site that archives webpages.

“ has had no role in the operations of the company since that time, has no insights into any business dealings or issues with the company or its current employees, and has received no income or dividends from the company since being elected,” Hansen wrote.In the fall of 2022, GHI agreed to sell Ghaoui Group 50,000 cases of Nitrile Cranberry Evolve 300 Gloves for nearly $17 million. Had that transaction been successful, Ghaoui Group would have bought another 50,000 cases for $15 million.

GHI and GHS share the same address in business registries: an office building in downtown Edmonton that houses a bank, law firms, and an insurance company. However, unlike GHI, there is no past website for GHS or other traces of the company online. Both Ghaoui Group and Anderson’s allegations remain unproven and untested in court. Anderson declined to comment on the ongoing proceedings.
