Liberal minister's former business associate could soon be found in contempt in 'other Randy' saga

At the heart of the issue is whether Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault breached ethics laws in 2022

At the heart of the issue is whether Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault breached ethics laws in 2022 by interfering directly in the global health imports business he co-founded with former business partner Stephen Anderson during the pandemic.
