Ethics commissioner to look into Minister Boissonnault’s business dealings

The surprise decision landed Tuesday during a parliamentary ethics committee hearing when Commissioner Konrad W. von Finckenstein committed to examining Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault’s alleged business ties

Repeating information the commissioner’s office had sent to Boissonnault on May 23, von Finckenstein said his office would not investigate.“It’s complete news to me, never knew anything about it. It obviously raises some serious implications if the story is true,” von Finckenstein said. Earlier the same day, Global News reported that Stephen Anderson, the COO of Global Health Imports Corporation, allegedly forwarded a text message to a buyer on Sept. 8, 2022, purportedly from someone named “Randy.”

Boissonnault was the first to testify in the hearings, and in combative exchanges with committee members, explained that he had no dealings with GHI since his election in 2021 and had no knowledge of the business’s operations. The ethics commissioner’s about-face was a setback from the minister, who had repeatedly referred to the ethics commissioner’s letter.
