OTTAWA — Another company is now alleging it was defrauded by Liberal minister Randy Boissonnault’s former business partner, Stephen Anderson, who it says leveraged the employment minister’s name to legitimize a “fraudulent scheme.”

In an affidavit dated Nov. 5, Michael R. Weber, the lawyer for California-based medical supply distribution company 4M Medical, said the company Boissonnault co-owned with Anderson took US$250,000 in a deposit for medical gloves that were never delivered.
