Edmonton Liberal MP says he’s sorry he hasn’t been clear about who he is and his family’s history and that he’s still learning about his heritage
Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault has previously referred to himself as 'non-status adopted Cree from Alberta' and said his great-grandmother was a 'full-blooded Cree woman.'The Edmonton Liberal member of Parliament says he’s sorry he hasn’t been clear about who he is and his family’s history and that he’s still learning about his heritage.
Boissonnault has previously referred to himself as “non-status adopted Cree from Alberta” and said his great-grandmother was a “full-blooded Cree woman.” The apology comes after reports that a company co-owned by Boissonnault unsuccessfully bid on two federal contracts while identifying itself as Indigenous and Aboriginal owned.
Boissonnault says he never claimed Indigenous status to his business partner, and he corrected the Liberal party as soon as he became aware of its public claim that he’s Indigenous. The Conservative party has called for Boissonnault to testify before the ethics committee and answer for what it calls serious allegations of fraud.
