Fournier testified Friday to the ethics committee that the $200,000 donation to the foundation was on paper from Quebec but was actually from China. She explained that there were strange receipts and emails between foundation staff and a Chinese association overseas, all of which happened before her tenure as president (she didn’t step into the role until 2018). This donation, of which $140,000 was received, was a subset of a larger $1 million donated to causes that were connected to former prime minister Pierre Trudeau (most of which went to the University of Montreal). Back then, the donation was subject to scrutiny by the Conservative party, which called for an investigation by the ethics commissioner in response. The ethics commissioner said “no” to investigating this specific donation, but it would examine cash-for-access events generally. And we can begin to see how this works. This isn't radically different from the sponsorship scheme. Instead of cash under the table it's funneled through other sources. This is what justin has been doing while in power. He's be socking away money into the party and to his own personal pockets. This is what liberals voted for. Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
