Yet, more than a week after his self-imposed resignation date, there Di Iorio was, standing in the House of Commons, raging at his critics. Principal among them is NDP MP Nathan Cullen, who had the temerity to raise a point of privilege over Di Iorio’s failure to darken Parliament’s towels these past months.
Whatever the “circumstances of life” that prevented Di Iorio from seeing out his mandate, they did not prevent him earning a lucrative living as a partner at Montreal law firm Langlois, where he was active enough to be named on a list of one of the best lawyers in Canada.
In a Toronto Star article on moonlighting MPs last year, Di Iorio said he sleeps just five hours a night, allowing him time to also teach classes at a local university, volunteer for three non-profit organizations and write a book on labour law.
