Former Liberal cabinet minister Allan Rock says Conservatives are off base to claim “blatant” cronyism is behind a sole-sourced contract the federal government is looking to award the non-profit he chairs.
Conservative MPs Michael Barrett and Jacques Gourde, their party’s ethics critics, rose during question period Monday to draw attention to a tender notice suggesting the government is moving to award a $120,000 contract to Security Council Report (SCR).
Rock, a former Jean Chrétien-era cabinet minister and UN ambassador, is chair of the New York-based organization that monitors United Nations Security Council activities and provides training for member states to navigate its specialized rules.
