Neither party knew the donations were illegal.
The Liberal leadership contestant who received the donation was Michael Ignatieff, who first ran for leadership in 2006, lost, and then ran again and won in 2009.
During the time of the donations, Norda Stelo Inc. was known as Roche, and had also been implicated in a number of allegations of financial impropriety in Quebec.Several former executives have also been charged in connection with a lengthy probe into the alleged awarding of public contracts in exchange for political financing, an investigation that also ensnared Quebec’s former deputy premier Nathalie Normandeau.
The information on Norda Stelo was one of three disclosures released Thursday by the commissioner, including two connected directly to the last federal election.
