An Elections Canada probe into a $5,000 cash donation to a Conservative riding association in Montreal has been slowed by the death of a party fundraiser, according to the office of the NDP’s ethics critic.
The federal NDP asked Elections Canada Thursday to probe a $5,000 cash donation to the Conservative party from a fugitive businessman the RCMP believes acted as the “banker” for a cross-border marijuana smuggling network.
On a Tuesday January evening in Montreal, Conservative party banners hung alongside gold dragons against a red wall at the Ruby Rouge restaurant in Montreal.
