A company that belonged to federal Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault said it was Indigenous-owned while bidding on federal contracts.

While Boissonnault, who at the time co-owned Global Health Imports, has said in the past that he is Indigenous, he recently stated publicly that he is white.

National Post obtained the bid through an access-to-information request.
