Emmanuella Lambropoulos beats out Yolande James to win Liberal
nomination in Montreal's Saint-Laurent riding
Emmanuella Lambropoulos scores upset over provincial cabinet minister,
law professor
CBC Posted: Mar 08, 2017 9:50 PM ET
A 26-year-old high school teacher has defeated former provincial
cabinet minister Yolande James for the Liberal nomination in the
riding of Saint-Laurent.
Emmanuella Lambropoulos beat both James and law professor Marwah Rizqy
Wednesday night to secure the nomination.
How Emmanuella Lambropoulos won
Lambropoulos and her team couldn't hold back their surprise at winning
out over James, the woman considered to be the Liberal party
favourite. She said her victory was the result of a lot of hard work.
"I really went every day, door-to-door, with one or two other people.
We worked really hard," Lambropoulos told Radio-Canada.
Leading up to the vote the media didn't pay much attention to her
candidacy, she said, and often, people didn't even know there was a
third candidate running.
James was reportedly approached by the party to run and served as
provincial immigration minister between 2007-2010 under former Quebec
premier Jean Charest.
She had also recently worked as a commentator on CBC and Radio-Canada.
James didn't speak to reporters following the announcement, but sent a
tweet congratulating Lambropoulos. She ended up finishing in third.
Lambropoulos teaches in Montreal's Rosemont neighbourhood and has
worked for the Saint-Laurent riding association.
'We came from the bottom up'
Her supporters credited the fact she lives in the Saint-Laurent
borough and wasn't parachuted in by the Liberal party as the main
reason she came away with the victory.

Hughes/Canadian Press)
"We came from the bottom up," said Petro Vouloukos, 22, who helped
Lambropoulos secure her win. "We were the grassroots. Not from the top
up like Mrs. James."
The Saint-Laurent riding has been Liberal for decades and is
considered a safe seat for the party in the April 3 byelection. The
seat was left empty when Stéphane Dion accepted the role of ambassador
to the EU and Germany.
Lambropoulos was the only of the three candidates to live in the riding.
Second place was Rizqy, a tax lawyer who ran unsuccessfully for the
Liberals in another Montreal riding in the 2015 federal election.
Controversy over blocking DeSousa
The race has been the subject of controversy, as long-serving
St-Laurent borough mayor Alan DeSousa was blocked from seeking the
nomination by the party — without explanation.
His appeal of the decision was unsuccessful.
Alan DeSousa barred from running for federal Liberals, no reason given
A Liberal member at Wednesday's vote who has lived in the riding for
13 years, Bilal Hamideh, told CBC it was unfortunate DeSousa was not
allowed to run.
"In general, I think it's discouraging to participate in the
[nomination] system," Hamideh said.
"It does weaken the system in a way if it is not clearly explained why
he wasn't allowed.

The messy Liberal nomination fight in St-Laurent
Don Macpherson
Published on: March 4, 2017 | Last Updated: March 4, 2017 9:00 AM EST
Yolande James, the former Quebec cabinet minister who was the first
black woman in cabinet. She is a pundit at RDI, photographed at Maison
Radio-Canada on Thursday February 05, 2015.
In a truly open contest, writes Don Macpherson, Yolande James would be
at a disadvantage against Alan DeSousa. Pierre Obendrauf / Montreal
Gazette
Nobody comes out of this week’s DeSousa affair looking good.
Start with Alan DeSousa himself, who says he’s a victim of “character
assassination” in the federal Liberal party’s mysterious refusal to
allow him to seek its nomination for the April 3 by-election in the
Montreal riding of St-Laurent.
Then there’s Yolande James, the “star candidate” who has been made to
look as though the party Establishment, which is reported to favour
her for the nomination, doesn’t believe she could beat DeSousa in a
fair fight.
And last but not least there’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose
vaunted new style of politics has again been exposed as merely
cosmetic.
In addition to participating in pay-for-access fundraising events,
Trudeau has at least tolerated the repeated apparent rigging of the
“open nominations” of his party’s candidates that he promised.
When he ran for the Liberal leadership in 2013, Trudeau promised that
all the party’s candidates would be chosen by votes of their
constituents. Since he became leader, however, there have been several
instances when would-be candidates complained that the party meddled
in the nominating process before the vote.
For example, in the Toronto-area riding of Markham — Thornhill, where
another by-election will be held April 3, the party hastily and
retroactively cut off registration for the vote after a member of
Trudeau’s staff became the first potential candidate to enter. This
stopped other would-be candidates from registering their supporters.
In St-Laurent, the party’s national candidate-vetting committee
informed DeSousa this week that his name would not be on the ballot,
for reasons that remain unexplained.
DeSousa has been borough mayor in St-Laurent since 2001, and it’s
public knowledge that in 2013, the borough’s offices were raided by
UPAC, the provincial anti-corruption squad.
Four years later, however, DeSousa has not been charged with anything.
And he told me he received encouragement to seek the nomination at all
levels of the Liberal party, from the riding executive up to the prime
minister’s office.
That, however, was before James confirmed her decision to run.
DeSousa wasn’t scared off by the prospect of having to face the former
Quebec Liberal minister, whose potential candidacy had already been
floated before DeSousa announced his.
James is an unproven campaigner, even though she was elected to the
National Assembly four times. She was never seriously tested, since
she ran in a safe Liberal riding, and her majorities were smaller than
those of the previous Liberal MNA.
Still, James would be a lock to win the by-election in St-Laurent,
which is such a safe riding for the Liberals that the real election
there is the one for their nomination.
In a truly open contest, however, James would be at a disadvantage
against DeSousa.
He’s won several contested elections in his 31 years in local
politics. And that suggests he could count on an established network
in the riding to sign up supporters and get them to a nominating
meeting.
James is from outside St-Laurent. And she brings some heavy political
baggage with her.
In provincial politics, James was best known for campaigning against
the niqab. As minister of immigration and cultural communities in the
former Charest government, she was a leading supporter of proposed
legislation that would have denied public services to women wearing
such veils. And she had an immigrant woman expelled from a French
course for refusing to remove her niqab.
In the three years since James left provincial politics, she says her
thinking has evolved. Coincidentally, St-Laurent was 17-per-cent
Muslim at the 2011 census.
If James is such a weak candidate that she needs to be carried by the
party to a nomination tainted by a backroom fix, then it would be
better if Trudeau did what old-style leaders have always done. That
is, he should name the candidate himself.
It would be no less democratic. And it would be cleaner, and more honest.

Hello all,
I would ask that you please do not respond to this e-mail (in the
event that you were inclined to do so.)
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Regards,
Craig Munroe
(Party Legal and Constitutional Advisor)
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/liberals-accused-of-rigging-local-races-after-candidates-get-rejected/article34227397/
"A long-time Mayor of the borough of St-Laurent in northwestern
Montreal, Alan DeSousa received a terse four-paragraph letter last
week informing him the party’s Green Light Committee, which vets
prospective candidates, had turned down his bid to seek the
nomination. It gave no rationale for the decision, which he has
appealed to a newly created dispute-settlement body.
Internal records show the Liberal Party responded that it was simply
exercising the broad powers that are at its disposal and not subject
to any Charter challenge.
The Green Light Committee “had no obligation to provide reasons” for
its decision, party lawyer Craig Munroe said in a submission to the
Permanent Appeal Committee.
Mr. Munroe, who is the Liberal Party’s constitutional and legal
adviser, added the Green Light Committee had the “sole and unfettered
discretion” to accept or reject Mr. DeSousa’s candidacy.
Mr. DeSousa lost his appeal. His case, which was the first to be
determined under the party’s current rules, will be a precedent for
future disputes.
Mr. DeSousa said in an interview that the party’s decision has opened
the door to an easy victory for Yolande James, a former provincial
minister with strong allies in the Liberal hierarchy."

Cabinet ministers met publicly with KPMG while firm's tax 'sham' under CRA probe
Accounting firm joined revenue minister at speech while fighting court order

Finance Minister Joe Oliver, left, was introduced by KPMG's head of
tax, Elio Luongo, right, at a meeting of the Vancouver Board of Trade
on April 28, 2015. (CBC)

Top Conservative cabinet ministers met publicly with senior staff from
KPMG's tax division, and one went so far as to promote the firm, even
as the Canada Revenue Agency was alleging the company set up an
offshore tax "sham" that deceived the government and deprived the
treasury of potentially millions of dollars, a CBC News investigation
shows.
Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Finance Minister Joe Oliver and
Prime Minister Stephen Harper all appeared in public with officials
from KPMG's tax department in 2014 and 2015 during the period when CRA
auditors were continuing an investigation into one of the accounting
firm's tax schemes and seeking names of multimillionaire clients.
KPMG also sponsored Oliver's 2015 post-budget speech in Vancouver. And
in August 2014, KPMG executives registered to lobby the prime minister
and his staff.
■KPMG offshore 'sham' deceived tax authorities, CRA alleges
■Federal probe of KPMG tax 'sham' stalled in court
■KPMG tax 'sham' could lead to criminal investigation: experts
■Tax havens explained: How the rich hide money
The CRA has alleged in court documents that the KPMG tax dodge —
which involved clients with a minimum of $5 million setting up shell
companies in the Isle of Man — was "intended to deceive" authorities.
KPMG has been fighting a February 2013 court order to hand over the
list of wealthy clients to the CRA for more than two years.
Yet in the 31 months since the judicial authorization, neither the
federal government nor KPMG has requested a court date for the
accounting firm's appeal.
A letter filed in Federal Court on July 20, 2015, written by a KPMG
lawyer — stating the letter was "approved in …advance" by lawyers at
the Department of Justice on behalf of the minister of national
revenue — said that both sides are pursuing "confidential" discussions
to try to settle out of court.
KPMG lawyers had previously told the court the "lengthy process" was
due to the "complexity" of the issues.
Appearance of conflict of interest?
Duff Conacher, a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa who
teaches on ethics in government, said the Tory meetings with KPMG,
while it was being pursued by the government, could raise questions of
an appearance of a conflict of interest.
Conacher said the meetings may lead to speculation about what is
happening behind closed doors "because anyone who looks at it from the
outside says, 'Hey, wait a second, this case hasn't been pursued
aggressively. I wonder why?' "
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office declined to say what
was discussed with Harper and his aides, except to say that the
meetings with KPMG were part of routine "stakeholder" discussions.
The spokesperson did not respond to questions about whether anyone
approached the prime minister or his staff to discuss the court case
against KPMG.

"We do not get into details about when and how meetings are scheduled,
nor the content of those discussions," the PMO spokesperson said in a
statement to CBC News.
KPMG won't talk about the meetings either, but insists no one from the
firm ever mentioned the court cases to any Conservative minister or
the prime minister. (For KPMG's full statement, click here.)
"Any suggestion of an improper relationship between KPMG leaders and
the Prime Minister's Office are patently false," KPMG said in an
emailed statement.

about a speech she gave last February when she referred the public to
KPMG, and other accountants, in a talk about tax planning.
During the Feb. 9 speech in Vancouver, Findlay introduced Walter Pela,
KPMG's head of tax for the Vancouver region, and three other
accountants. The minister told the audience KPMG and others had joined
her there to represent their industry association, the Chartered
Professional Accountants of Canada.
A slide that was projected during a speech by Finance Minister Joe
Oliver in Vancouver on April 28, 2015, noted that KPMG was a 'proud
sponsor' of the event. (CBC)
The minister told the public audience that the accountants could be
consulted when making "complicated" tax files.
She also posed for photos with KPMG's Pela and his colleagues.
In a statement, Findlay's spokesperson said, "It is not uncommon for
the minister to attend events and announcements with stakeholders and
leaders of her local community."
Findlay's spokesperson also said the minister has never been
approached by anyone at KPMG to discuss the court cases.
CRA audits and investigations routinely proceed without any
involvement from the minister of national revenue, even if they are
conducted on her behalf.
CBC News has learned Findlay was first informed of the CRA
investigation into the KPMG tax scheme more than a year before her
speech in Vancouver, after her communications department referred her
to a news report about the case.
Findlay did not respond to queries from CBC News about whether she
informed the Prime Minister's Office or her cabinet colleagues after
she learned of the case against KPMG.
Conacher, who is also co-founder of Democracy Watch, said the revenue
minister was ill-advised to have KPMG join her in public, particularly
during a tax probe. "It's improper for a minister to be promoting
companies directly like that and specifically naming them."
Sponsored Oliver's speech
On April 28, one week after the 2015 federal budget, KPMG Canada
sponsored a post-budget speech in Vancouver for Oliver.
KPMG's head of tax, Elio Luongo, introduced Oliver to the meeting of
the Vancouver Board of Trade at Pan Pacific Hotel. Luongo also thanked
his firm, KPMG, for sponsoring the finance minister's talk. "Today's
event would not have been possible without your support," he said.
CBC News reporter Frederic Zalac caught up with Luongo at the event.
Luongo declined to answer questions about why KPMG was not handing
over the secret client list of wealthy Canadians to the Canada Revenue
Agency.
A spokesperson for KPMG later said it would be inappropriate for the
firm to comment on matters that may be before the courts.
In an emailed statement, a spokesperson for Oliver said the finance
minister was not aware of the CRA investigation into KPMG's tax
product at the time he made the speech.
The Vancouver Board of Trade chooses its own sponsors, the
spokesperson said, adding that members of all political parties have
given speeches to the board, including Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.
'Inappropriate and unethical'
Democracy Watch's Conacher says the government should not have allowed
KPMG to sponsor a finance minister's speech, let alone when it was
alleged to have set up an offshore scheme to defraud the public
treasury.
"It's inappropriate and unethical [for the finance minister] to be
speaking at privately sponsored events," Conacher said.
Federal records show KPMG'S Luongo registered in Ottawa as a lobbyist
starting in 2012 to lobby the CRA, the Department of Finance and,
later, the Prime Minister's Office on behalf of the accounting firm on
topics including taxation.
In early 2014, in his position as chair of the Vancouver Board of
Trade, Luongo emceed at a public event for Harper.
"We want to thank you for your strong leadership and thank you for
being with us today," Luongo said.
Lobby registry records also show that KPMG executives met with Harper,
his chief of staff Ray Novak and two other PMO staffers on Aug. 13,
2014, to discuss "economic development, taxation, finance."
KPMG's spokesperson said no one from the firm ever mentioned the case
of MNR v KPMG to the prime minister or his staff.

Liberal Party says it has full discretion to vet candidates in local races
Daniel Leblanc OTTAWA — The Globe and Mail
Published Monday, Mar. 06, 2017 8:05PM EST
The Liberal Party is claiming full discretion to wade into local races
and decide who can run for its nominations even as Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau publicly insists the process is open and in the hands
of local members, internal documents show.
Nomination races for by-elections in Markham-Thornhill and St-Laurent,
two strongholds in the Greater Toronto Area and Montreal respectively,
have been mired in bitter infighting.
The Liberals faced allegations the process was rigged to favour
specific candidates because new members were shut out of the vote in
Markham-Thornhill and a local power broker was rejected as a candidate
in St-Laurent.
Globe editorial: Sunny ways, with a chance of cloudy Liberal nominations
In his four years as Liberal Leader, Mr. Trudeau has striven to
transform the party into a political movement that offers free
memberships and give its supporters broad powers. However, the
nominations furor stands to hurt efforts to rebrand the Liberals as a
grassroots organization that lets local members make key decisions.
A long-time Mayor of the borough of St-Laurent in northwestern
Montreal, Alan DeSousa received a terse four-paragraph letter last
week informing him the party’s Green Light Committee, which vets
prospective candidates, had turned down his bid to seek the
nomination. It gave no rationale for the decision, which he has
appealed to a newly created dispute-settlement body.
Internal records show the Liberal Party responded that it was simply
exercising the broad powers that are at its disposal and not subject
to any Charter challenge.
The Green Light Committee “had no obligation to provide reasons” for
its decision, party lawyer Craig Munroe said in a submission to the
Permanent Appeal Committee.
Mr. Munroe, who is the Liberal Party’s constitutional and legal
adviser, added the Green Light Committee had the “sole and unfettered
discretion” to accept or reject Mr. DeSousa’s candidacy.
Mr. DeSousa lost his appeal. His case, which was the first to be
determined under the party’s current rules, will be a precedent for
future disputes.
Mr. DeSousa said in an interview that the party’s decision has opened
the door to an easy victory for Yolande James, a former provincial
minister with strong allies in the Liberal hierarchy.
“I’ve been taken out of the game because they feel that I am the
biggest threat to their party-chosen candidate,” Mr. DeSousa said. “I
do think the legitimacy of the process is severely impaired and I
question the legitimacy of whichever candidate is ultimately selected,
because of what has gone on.”
Mr. Trudeau said last week that the Liberal Party is choosing its
candidates through a fair and transparent process.
“Open nominations mean that local communities, local Liberals, get to
have the final say on who is actually going to be their candidate,”
Mr. Trudeau said at a news conference in Victoria. He added some
people will “speculate and create conflicts.”
Only about 200 members voted in the nomination meeting for
Markham-Thornhill on the weekend after the party imposed a retroactive
cutoff date for signing up new members. Mary Ng, a former director of
appointments in Mr. Trudeau’s office, won after rival candidate
Juanita Nathan dropped out. Ms. Nathan said she signed up 1,600 new
members who were declared ineligible to vote because of the procedural
move.
Liberals in St-Laurent will chose on Wednesday evening among Ms.
James, fiscal law professor Marwah Rizqy and teacher Emmanuella
Lambropoulos. The riding was left vacant after former foreign affairs
minister Stéphane Dion stepped down earlier this year.
Mr. DeSousa said the decision to keep him off the ballot will
“disenfranchise” hundreds of local Liberals who wanted him as their
candidate.
In his appeal filed last week, Mr. DeSousa sought a clear explanation
for the rejection of his candidacy. The Permanent Appeal Committee
sided with Mr. Monroe, confirming that Mr. DeSousa will not be
eligible to participate in the nomination in St-Laurent.
“No one has an unfettered right to become a Qualified Nomination
Candidate and participate in the nomination process,” wrote Sarah
Sidhu and Stéphane Lacoste, co-chairs of the appeal committee. “We
conclude that the appeal [by Mr. DeSousa] has no chance of success and
it is not necessary to hold a hearing.”
In the interview with The Globe, Mr. DeSousa acknowledged the fact
that he worked in Montreal municipal politics alongside officials who
were eventually caught up in corruption or collusion scandals may have
been a factor in the decision.
In his appeal, Mr. DeSousa said he was “shocked and distressed” by his
rejection. He was particularly angry that the two members of the Green
Light Committee who interviewed him on Feb. 24, Leanne Bourassa and
Suh Kim, did not give him an opportunity to respond to any allegation
that might have been made against him.
“All the matters discussed were matters that are easily verifiable,
have no impact on my candidacy and do not in any way impact the LPC in
a detrimental manner,” Mr. DeSousa said in an affidavit. “Clearly the
discussion by telephone did not allow the members of the Committee to
comprehend the entire fact pattern of any or all matters discussed.”
He said he has an unblemished record in public life and would have
gladly rebutted any allegation.
“If you have something, bring it on,” he said, adding that the
speculation since he was rejected has been detrimental to his
reputation.
Ms. James was a minister between 2007 and 2012 in a provincial Liberal
government that was also hurt by scandals. She has refused to comment
on the controversy.
The by-elections in St-Laurent and Markham-Thornhill, as well as two
in Alberta and one in Ottawa-Vanier, will be held on April 3.
