Subject: Acknowledge receipt of telephone voice messages
To: motomaniac333@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Amos,
This is to acknowledge receipt of the telephone voice messages you left with Mr. Michael Aquilino and Ms. Martine Richard during the week of April 10, 2017.
As indicated in Mr. Philippe Joly's letter of January 19, 2017, the Commissioner considers that the matters you raised, with the exception of the reference to the fundraising events held in 2016 concerning the Prime Minister, are not within the jurisdiction of the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. The Commissioner considers these matters to be closed.
With respect to the 2016 fundraising events concerning the Prime Minister, as has been reported by the media, the Commissioner has looked into these activities following letters of concern she received from Members of the House of Commons in relation to a possible contravention of the Conflict of Act. After carefully looking into these activities, the Commissioner was satisfied that further action was not warranted. Again, the Commissioner considers the matter to be closed.
In light of the above, there will be no further action nor any further communications concerning these matters.
Sincerely,
Marie-Josée Smith

Parliamentary Review
December 2012
While social media permits individuals an unparalleled ability to
participate in debate, share information and experiences, interact and
keep in contact with a wide variety of family, friends and
acquaintances, it also presents a challenge for the individual as a
parliamentary employee. It is not impossible to reconcile the two, but
the first step is to recognize the challenges and to consider ways to
avoid difficulties.

Ethics watchdog to question Justin Trudeau on 'concerns' about fundraising events
Mary Dawson says no evidence to date to demonstrate conflict of interest rules were broken
By Kathleen Harris, CBC News Posted: Dec 15, 2016 11:21 AM ET
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under fire for his
attendance at Liberal Party fundraisers. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)
In a letter responding to requests for an inquiry from the Conservatives and the NDP, Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson said there is no evidence to date that demonstrates Trudeau or Bill Blair, parliamentary secretary to the minister of Justice, violated the Conflict of Interest Act.
"While the information provided in support of the allegations is not sufficient to cause me to initiate an examination under the act at this time, your letter and media articles leave me with concerns in relation to Mr. Trudeau's interactions with individuals involved with the canola export agreement, Wealth One Bank, and Anbang Insurance Group," Dawson wrote to interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose.
"Consequently, I will follow up with Mr. Trudeau regarding his involvement with the fundraising events and with the three above-noted matters. I will inform you of the outcome in due course."
- Liberal fundraisers the talk of the fall
- Trudeau insists fundraisers attendees hold no sway
- Taxpayers help pay for party fundraisers
Those reports raised questions about various interactions between Trudeau and attendees, including Toronto businessman Thomas Liu, who has financial interest in canola exports to China, Shengling Xian, founder of Wealth One Bank of Canada, and Miaofei Pan, who told the Globe he spoke with Trudeau about foreign investment issues that could affect the Anbang Insurance Group.
No 'reasonable grounds'
Dawson also responded to a concern raised related to a fundraising event attended by Blair, who is the government's point man on legalization of marijuana. That event was also attended by people involved with the Cannabis Friendly Business Association.But Dawson wrote that in order to establish "reasonable grounds" that Trudeau or Blair contravened the act, she would need information that indicates they "personally solicited" funds that would have placed them in a conflict of interest.

question Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about his attendance at Liberal
fundraisers. (Fred Chartrand/Canadian Press)
'Total transparency'
He was pressed by a reporter on how his actions of granting access to "rich people" who pay $1,500 to bend his ear squares with his own rules of not allowing preferential treatment or the perception of preferential treatment.
"The fact is, at the federal level our fundraising rules put very strict limits on personal donations. They have completely eliminated corporate and union donations, and there is absolute and total transparency for anyone who gives money to the federal level," Trudeau responded.
"Our commitment is to show the highest level of ethical standards, and that's exactly what we're doing."
Trudeau has been under daily fire for attending the $1,500-a-ticket Liberal Party fundraising events.
During a year-end news conference earlier this week, he conceding that while issues came up in conversation, paying participants hold no special sway on government policy.
Trudeau insisted he will answer questions or listen to anyone who wants to speak with him about issues that are important to them.
Justin Trudeau defends 'cash for access' events2:31
"The fact is, my approach continues to be to listen broadly through every possible opportunity I get and make the right decisions based on what's best for Canada," he said.
"I can say that in various Liberal Party events, I listen to people, as I will in any given situation, but the decisions I make in government are ones based on what is right for Canadians, not on what an individual at a fundraiser might say."

This nonsense the PM spouted
about using these fundraising events to discuss "the middle class" was
so laughable that even Wynne didn't believe it.
David Raymond Amos
@Robert Thornton
I am far from a PM Trudeau "The Younger" fan HOWEVER to be fair I must ask an obvious question to CBC.
Why does this confidential letter from Dawson (Whom Harper appointed and kept reappointing) to his replacement the kinda sorta leader of the Conservatives get published by the Crown Corp commonly known as the CBC? Imagine how Harper would have squawked it that had been pulled on him.
Hell I have yet to receive answers to many documents I sent to the FORMER Conflict of Interest Commissioner in 2006 byway of tracked Canada Post. Every time I call Dawson's office since they just play dumb and cannot explain why I have not received at least a response in over ten years

Time to ban these fundraisers federally and provincially along with corporate and union donations as well provincially.
We need a level playing field. Limited donations by individuals only. Tax deductible.

@David Gloag For what it is worth I agree

@Robert Thornton I suppose if
he appointed multi-million dollar donators to his cabinet like Trump,
that would be fine with the conservatives

@Damian Gottfried I recall in
the riding where I ran for a seat in the 42nd Parliament all the
political parties were laying the lovin on the Middle Class. However now
that the middle class in the area took a big hit none of the
politicians even remember where Fundy Royal is on the map. However I am
still here even though CBC claimed I not even on the ballot..
