Randy Boissonnault is out of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet after months of controversy surrounding his former medical supply business.
In a brief statement Wednesday, Trudeau said Boissonnault “agreed … (to) step away from cabinet effective immediately.”
“Mr. Boissonnault will focus on clearing the allegations made against him,” Trudeau’s office said.
Those allegations, first reported by Global News, involve Boissonnault’s former business Global Health Imports, co-founded with Stephen Anderson in early 2020 after Boissonnault lost his seat in the 2019 election.
Global News reported on Tuesday that Edmonton police are now investigating allegations of fraud allegations against GHI and Anderson.
More to come.
