The federal ethics watchdog says former Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido repeatedly broke the code of conduct for members of Parliament.
Ethics commissioner Mario Dion says in a report that Peschisolido "chronically" failed to disclose his private interests, as required by the code.
But, since Peschisolido lost his British Columbia seat in last fall's election, he's no longer subject to the rules governing the conduct of MPs. Dion says Peschisolido failed to disclose a shareholder's loan and a personal guarantee of debt, both worth "well in excess of $10,000." He also did not disclose a change in his marital status or a change in the status of his law corporation.
