OTTAWA - A federal judge has ordered Canada’s lobbying commissioner to reconsider a probe into whether the Aga Khan broke the rules by inviting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family to vacation on his private island at a time when his foundation was registered to lobby Trudeau’s office.

Canada’s previous lobbying commissioner declined to investigate a public complaint about the matter in 2017, saying that since the Aga Khan was not paid by his foundation, his offer of a luxury Caribbean vacation could not be seen as lobbying. In a recently released ruling, Federal Court Justice Patrick Gleeson agreed that Shepherd’s scope was too narrow, quashing her decision not to probe the issue further. But he declined to order Canada’s new lobbying commissioner, Nancy Bélanger, to launch a formal investigation, instead returning the matter to her for reconsideration.

When asked about the matter by reporters on Tuesday, Trudeau said: “We trust in the processes in place and respect the work that the court and the lobbying commissioner will do.”

pintocorreiam Let's see what they will say

Trudeau will by far go down as the worst PM in Canadian history. A true enemy of the people.

A handsome and Smart PM of Canada, looks North is not a big fan of you.

Questionble ethics is what the Liberal Party of Canada is all about. Many Canadians know this. At least those outside the Eastern metropolitan bubbles.

No matter how bad he is, we in America will trade leaders in a heartbeat.

Legal Pot Sales Are Off to Slow Start in CanadaSix months after the country became the largest economy to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, retail sales have undershot expectations.

More like some Provinces like Ontario totally cocked up the launch with no stores ready to go. They also didn't take into account the prices before had risk involved now that that risk is gone price has dropped significantly in the black market Well they got greedy .
