If Peschisolido were still an MP, Dion says he’d recommend that Parliament impose “appropriate” sanctions.
OTTAWA — The federal ethics watchdog says former Richmond Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido repeatedly broke the code of conduct for members of Parliament.
But, since Peschisolido lost his 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.
