Subhead:The largest labour union in Quebec has been fined for violating financing rules during the snap election called by Justin Trudeau during the height of COVID hysteria.#
The Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec (FTQ), Quebec’s largest labour federation, has been penalized for breaking federal election financing rules during the 2021 federal election.
According to the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections, the FTQ failed to open a dedicated bank account for its election activities, as required under subsection 358.1(1) of the Canada Elections Act.
Instead, partisan advertising expenses totalling $8,568.28 were not paid through the mandatory account.
