Liberals still inept on ethics as the excuses for Geng Tan now come from the PMO. [View all]


"Former House of Commons law clerk Rob Walsh said he did not consider Mr. Tan's actions to be part of his responsibilities as an MP.

"This doesn't sound like a parliamentary function," Mr. Walsh said. "What is he doing that for? Why does he have to go to China to deliver a letter to the Canadian embassy when he could walk across the street and put it in the post-office box?"

Mr. Walsh said if a cabinet minister acted as an intermediary for a man under investigation for securities fraud and money laundering, "there would be all kinds of demands for accountability."

Here's a guy who lied about taking sponsored travel to China and met with members of the United Front, a Chinese government arm meant to subvert Chinese citizens abroad, and now he's been caught helping some scammer and the PMO says "he was doing his job."

Canada is going down the crapper.
