OTTAWA — The chair of the Conservatives’ leadership election organizing committee says the party “could not afford the risk” of having a candidate under…
In an email sent to party members Friday morning, Ian Brodie doubled down on the decision as the “right thing” to keep the party “beyond reproach” in the long term.
The debate around his candidacy was largely focused on the politician’s time as leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives from 2015 until 2018, according to people familiar with the tenor of the discussions. Grey and Pasloski declined to comment, as did a party spokesman, and the others could not immediately be reached.
Instead, the Conservative party’s lawyer forwarded the information to the office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections, which confirmed Thursday that it had received documentation but declined to elaborate on its nature, citing confidentiality provisions of the Canada Elections Act. Baran said he hopes that this will be the party’s final word on the matter: “Nobody’s ever well-served by a slow drip, drip, drip.”
Jodoin said that he had personally connected her with a third party for that purpose, stating, “I trusted him, but as time went on I became increasingly concerned with the arrangement and suspected it was not OK.”
