The Justice Minister is the country’s top lawyer in charge of lower court appointments, handing out contracts when government needs outside legal work and charged with shepherding changes to the criminal code. Last week she and her top policy person walked into the Toronto offices of Torys law firm for a $500 per person cocktail fundraiser. The NDP and Conservatives hammered away in question period Monday while Liberals insisted she did nothing wrong raising money from people she’ll soon be awarding contracts to or appointing to the bench.
Yawn. You may as well put this in the classifieds because Canadians don't care one bit about ethics.
