Quebec’s electoral watchdog has revealed that illegal financing of Quebec’s now defunct ADQ might have taken place at the time of frame overlaps with Tory Senator Leo Housakos as chief fundraiser for the provincial party. Former leader of the ADQ, Gilles Taillon, informed media sources on Tuesday that he has already filed a deposition to Quebec police in 2009, highlighting his concerns that the party had been taking in illegal donations in previous years.
Mr. Taillon bitterly left his post after only three weeks, stated that back “in 2009, we were calling for an inquiry into the construction industry, and to clean up political financing. (Party insiders) came back and said to me, be careful what you’re saying Gilles, because these things are going on in your own house.” He further added that “I would have cleaned things up if I had stayed, but since I left I handed it over to the police. At the time, it was a bit strange to go to the police about that, but now I think I was right to do it because today we know what was going on wasn’t pretty.”
Housakos reiterated in front of court, alleging that he did not participate nor did him have any knowledge of wrongdoing while he was the chairman of the ADQ’s fundraising arm from 2002 to 2008. He mentioned during an interview on Tuesday that “I can tell you that all the fundraising we did followed the law, from A to Z, with no exception.”
