OTTAWA – Conservatives say federal Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault must answer questions about why a company that belonged to him said it was Indigenous-owned while bidding on federal contracts.

“It’s highly suspicious at best. But at worst, it’s fraud,” Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett told the Commons ethics committee Thursday.

“He shouldn’t be a minister, he should have been fired long ago as a minister. He has no place sitting in the cabinet given his record,” Conservative MP Michael Cooper added.
