Conservative MP Michael Barrett questioned the Liberal government on Randy Boissonnault’s connections to a lobbying firm and a medical supplies company, revealed by Global News.

House of Commons, who is a member of the ethics committee, asked Boissonnault why he is receiving “outstanding” payments from a lobbying firm owned by a longtime business associate and former employee, according to the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner’s registry.The lobbyist, Kirsten Poon, who owns the consulting firm Navis Group, met with high-level political staff across the federal government, including Finance Canada, where Boissonnault was also associate minister.

Boissonnault’s office told Global News the minister has followed conflict-of-interest and lobbying rules. “The minister has always conducted himself in an ethical manner that follows the spirit and letter of those rules,” MacKinnon said.
