Justin Trudeau recently announced that he inherited 1.2 million from his father.
He is also on record as charging well in excess of 1 million dollars for his prior speaking engagements.
Federal Legislative attendance records show that Justin has one of the worst attendance records in the House of Commons following his election as an MP.
It is public knowledge that the Ethics Commissioner recommended that Justin immediately stop moonlighting as a highly paid speaker on the rubber chicken circuit following Justin’s announcement that he would be seeking the leadership of the LPC.
Justin has ignored Ethics Commissioner’s advice and continues to rake in cash as a motivational speaker racking up $72,00 in 2012 alone.
Federal MP’s are paid a base salary of $157,000 plus various top ups and tax breaks.
Sitting NDP MP Andrew Cash is one of the strongest political supporters of the taxpayer funded CBC.
He is also paid roughly $40,000 a year by the CBC to provide the intro jingle for The Dragons Den television show which is a CBC production.
That obviously puts Andrew in conflict of interest.
Andrew seems to have responded to that by filing a signed letter stating that he will not sit nor vote on Government Bills that affect the CBC.
However the House record shows that he is indeed voting on House bills that affect both CBC’s funding and future operations.
Andrew has announced to the media that his lawyer informs him that it is legal for him to continue to vote on CBC related bills while being paid by the CBC.
He also says the letter on file that he signed that states that he will not vote on CBC related House bills is “non applicable”.
At least Mulroney waited until after he resigned from politics before he grabbed the brown envelope.
