OTTAWA — Deputy Speaker Chris d'Entremont says he did not approve an advertisement for a Conservative party event that led the NDP to accuse him of partisanship.
NDP MP Lindsay Mathyssen asked the Conservatives to clarify in the House of Commons Thursday afternoon whether d'Entremont knew about or approved the ad. "The choice of photograph and wording of this social media post was neither my own nor was it approved by me. It appears the photo is simply one plucked from the House of Commons website and certainly was not a photo which was specially taken for this purpose," the statement said.The advertisement for a November event organized by the Dartmouth-Cole Harbour Conservative Association describes d'Entremont as a party luminary.
That included the most recent attempt earlier this week, which came after the Liberal party uploaded a video to its website that promoted a summer barbecue event featuring Fergus that used partisan language without getting Fergus's consent. The Liberal party apologized to Fergus over the post.
