Dan Lovell says he is aware of the commissioner’s conclusions but insisted he did not breach the lobbying rules
The lobbying watchdog has concluded that a former Liberal staffer broke the rules by arranging meetings for clients with his former boss Vance Badawey, an MP and parliamentary secretary to a minister.
In a statement, Mr. Lovell said he was aware of the commissioner’s conclusions but insisted he did not breach the lobbying rules. The investigation looked into Mr. Lovell’s lobbying activities on behalf of his clients the Independent First Nations Alliance, the Grain Farmers of Ontario and Welded Tube.
In June, 2022, he e-mailed the parliamentary assistant of Mr. Badawey about setting a time for the MP to tour the site in Welland of another client, Welded Tube. The next day the visit was scheduled for July and Mr. Lovell introduced the parliamentary assistant via e-mail to a representative of Welded Tube so details of the visit could be discussed.
