alt obits guy 3,371 Posted May 19, 2021 John Gomery, a retired Quebec Superior Court Justice who presided over the 2004 inquiry in the federal sponsorship scandal in Canada, has died. He was 88. Former prime minister Paul Martin appointed him commissioner of the inquiry that examined problems with the federal sponsorship program in Quebec between 1995 and 2003. The months-long inquiry looked into allegations of fraud related to payments of millions of dollars to Liberal Party-friendly advertising firms for little or no work. His findings concluded there was clear evidence of political involvement in the administration of the sponsorship program, as well as insufficient oversight at senior levels of the public service and secrecy surrounding the program's administration. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/gomery-dead-1.6032255 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
