Liberal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault’s former business partner stunned MPs Wednesday by claiming multiple text messages referring to business dealings with “Randy” were the result of an autocorrect error.
The House of Commons’ ethics committee is probing Boissonnault’s relationship with Global Health Imports (GHI), a company he co-founded with Edmonton entrepreneur Stephen Anderson before he was re-elected as a Liberal MP in 2021.
Global News reported that Anderson allegedly sent a series of text messages referring to a partner named “Randy” in September 2022 – after Boissonnault was sworn in as a Liberal cabinet minister, and a year after he said he “ceased active involvement” with the company.
Boissonnault held shares in GHI, which he was legally allowed to do, until disposing of them two weeks ago.
Conflict of interest laws prohibited elected officials from operating or managing private businesses while in office.
