QUESTION PERIOD — Prime Minister’s Office
SNC-Lavalin
April 3, 2019
My question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. A few months ago, the media reported that in April 2016, the Liberal Party of Canada organized a cash-for-access fundraising event at the offices of prominent law firm Torys LLP, in Toronto. Guests paid $500 each.
Senator Harder, can you confirm whether that law firm employs lawyers who played a key role in SNC-Lavalin’s legal representation during the scandal that the company is embroiled in?
Again, I thank the honourable senator for his question. I will have to take notice of it and return with an appropriate answer.
Could you also confirm by the weekend or next week the name of the lawyer at Torys LLP who is representing SNC-Lavalin in these proceedings and who attended that fundraiser and made a $478.37-donation to the Liberal Party of Canada?
Again, I thank the honourable senator for his question and I will add it to my inquiry.
