The notorious and one of its kind inquiry into corruption of Quebec’s construction industry headed by Charbonneau Commission will resume today after almost a seven-week-long break. Today, the inquiry will hear testimony of a former Union Montreal receptionist, Alexandra Pion, who allegedly got fed up of counting cash accumulated by the party’s fundraiser.
Commissioner, France Charbonneau, will hear Pion’s testimony to recall what the inquiry was previously told in late October by former policy adviser of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose testimony confirmed the rumors of bizarre financial dealings during his tenure as a former Montreal municipal politician. A party organizer for Union Montreal, Martin Dumont, informed the inquiry about an incident when Pion secretly complained him about not being interesting in counting money for Bernard Trépanier. Inquiry is told that Trépanier is a partisan fundraising official dubbed as Mr. Three Per Cent. He is numerously accused of receiving bribes from construction companies on behalf of Union Montreal.
Dumont’s testimony of last October, stated him saying that “I asked, ‘How much money did you have to count?'” while it continued claiming that “she told me she had counted approximately $850,000 with Mr. Trépanier.” Furthermore, Dumont claims that he recommend Trépanier to buy a cash-counting machine, which was later installed. Later on, Dumont will also be asked to return at the stand during this week for illuminating more on few parts of his original testimony. Although it is attributed from a French-language service, that Dumont’s lawyer is probably going to ask for a leave and postpone her client’s appearance to a later date.
