MONTREAL — Quebec's governing party defended itself Monday against accusations it underpaid and took advantage of a woman who appeared in a widely promoted election advertisement.
Landry said that amount was"ridiculous" because her mother's participation wasn't for a simple interview but for a campaign advertisement. She wrote that the CAQ had taken advantage of a"poor, uneducated woman by making her believe that $250 is the right price to use this 'planned' video for advertising purposes.
The ad had been scheduled to stop running last week and is no longer being used, she said."It was never our intention to take advantage of anyone."
