Juno News - NO SANCTION： Carney MP broke ethics rules by directing taxpayer funds to family businesses

00:00:00.000 A Liberal MP was caught using taxpayer money to benefit her own businesses.

00:00:04.960 Nineveh MP Lori Idlow has been found by the Federal Ethics Commissioner to a violated

00:00:09.360 parliamentary conflict of interest rules. According to the Commissioner's report,

00:00:14.900 Idlow obtained taxpayer reimbursements for purchases from businesses owned by herself

00:00:20.220 and her spouse. The Commissioner found that these transactions increased or preserved the value of

00:00:26.560 the couple's assets, furthering their private interests while Idla was carrying out her

00:00:31.540 parliamentary duties. Now, what's crazy is the commissioner said these weren't minor mistakes

00:00:37.500 and they weren't accidental. So why was there no penalty? The commissioner recommended no sanction

00:00:43.660 after Idla repaid the House of Commons for expenses. So a sitting Liberal MP violated

00:00:50.400 parliamentary conflict of interest rules, taxpayer money was used for purchases from

00:00:55.880 businesses owned by her and her spouse, and the ethics commissioner says the violations were not

00:01:01.600 minor or accidental, but there is no sanction because the money was repaid. The full story is
