The Teflon Tories be doing it yet again.
This time it is Tony Clement.
CFRA reports that the Opposition is rightfully demanding Tony Clement be fired as Industry Minister for using his position to shill for a private enterprise.
The Honourable Mr. Clement took part in a promotional video for a private company based in his riding that was trying to drum up business in China. Mr. Clement was in the 2008 promotion video for Lord and Partners, which produces environmentally friendly cleaning products. Mr. Clement identifies himself as Minister of Health in the video, and extends greetings to the people of China “...on behalf of myself and the government of Canada...”
The Liberals and New Democrats want the parliamentary ethics watchdog to investigate whether Mr. Clement broke conflict of interest rules or ministerial conduct guidelines.
It comes as no suprise that the Federal Government insists Minister Clement did nothing wrong, adding he was simply trying to help a company in his riding.
Question: What took the Reds and the Dips so long to find out that buddy was doing infomericals? Hellllllllllllllllo.
