8. Intergovernmental – Dominic Leblanc
› “Canada’s federal ethics watchdog ruled today that
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc violated the
conflict of interest act when he approved an Arctic surf clam
license to a company employing a family member. Ethics
Commissioner Mario Dion said in a report today that LeBlanc knew
his wife’s first cousin was involved in the Five Nations Clam Co.
when he awarded it a multi-million dollar license in February and
should have recused himself from the decision.

9. Land Deal – Grewal and Bains
› “Two MPs were given a confidential report on the property at the heart of
a controversial Brampton land deal months before a company with
Liberal Party connections bought it, according to emails obtained by the
National Post. One of the MPs, Raj Grewal, had previously claimed he did
not see the report until not almost a year after the purchase.
› The revelation adds another wrinkle to a complex series of events that
sources say the Toronto-area municipality has asked the RCMP to review.
Meanwhile, the MPs in question and some of the company’s directors
complain the matter has unfairly tarnished their reputations.

11. Monsef and Passport
› “More than a year after Maryam Monsef revealed she was not
actually born in Afghanistan, as she had previously believed,
the Liberal cabinet minister is still waiting for the government
to update her documents. Just like everybody else, I'm
waiting my turn," the status of women minister said in an
interview with The Canadian Press last week. In September
2016, the Globe and Mail reported that Monsef, hailed by the
Liberals as Canada's first Afghan-born MP, was actually born
in Mashhad, Iran, a city about 200 kilometres away from the
border with Afghanistan.

12. MP / Jowhari
› “The Liberal MP for Richmond Hill is facing the ire of many
of his Iranian-Canadian constituents after posting a tweet
many see as an attempt to legitimize the theocratic
government in Iran.
› Iranian-born Majid Jowhari was elected in the 2015
election to represent Canada's most Iranian riding. But
his Iranian-Canadian constituents, many of whom
strongly oppose Iran's regime, have become some of his
fiercest critics.
