O’Toole accused of using Parliamentary resources on leadership campaign GlobePolitics
Conservative MP Erin O'Toole has boasted about running an error-free campaign for the party leadership, which he says is in contrast to his rivals.A Liberal MP is calling for an investigation into whether Conservative leadership candidate Erin O’Toole is inappropriately using taxpayer-funded resources on his campaign.
Morrissey detailed the allegations and included a copy of an e-mail in a letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, who also runs the board of internal economy.The board governs MPs and upholds rules and regulations around their conduct, including one that specifically prohibits the use of House of Commons resources in relation to leadership campaigns.
Global News reported this week that Housakos had sent an e-mail from his official Senate account using the subject line “CPC Leadership,” endorsing O’Toole and then asking recipients to buy a membership in support of the O’Toole campaign. Among them, an e-mail they sent out using the offensive phrase “bathroom bill” to refer to efforts to expand the rights of LGBTQ Canadians.He also raised eyebrows for letting his staff cut off an interview in the early days of the campaign, and for a pitch that the Conservative leadership race ought not to have been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but in fact sped up.
