The Hill Times
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally realized the political liability then-employment minister Randy Boissonnault posed to him and to his embattled government when he returned from the G20 meetings last week. After defending him on Nov. 19 in Rio de Janeiro, Trudeau removed Boissonnault out of cabinet on Nov. 20 in Ottawa. The allegations just kept piling up and, in this toxic political environment, there was no way out.
But Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu also told a House committee last week that Global Health Imports has never been listed in the federal database of Indigenous companies. For his part, Boissonnault said his adopted mother and brother are both status Métis.
