The official agent for former federal cabinet minister Peter Penashue during a controversial 2011 campaign, Reg Bowers, has been officially charged under the Canada Elections Act. According to an announcement by the commissioner of Canada Elections on Thursday, Bowers has been charged with three counts related to allegations of taking illegal contributions from corporations and discounted airfares for Penashue’s campaign in the general election.
The campaign resulted in Penashue winning the race in a riding of Labrador for the Conservative Party of Canada even though it was traditionally a Liberal stronghold. In light of several media reports highlighting irregularities in the financing of the campaign, Penashue resigned and ran in a subsequent 2013 byelection to face a defeat at the hand of Liberal Yvonne Jones. Thereafter, Bowers was elected to the town council in Happy Valley-Goose Bay in January and mentioned that he “probably” would be charged. However, charges were laid against Bowers on Thursday in provincial court in St. John’s.
Penashue served as minister of intergovernmental affairs and president of Treasury Board. Thereafter at the day of his resignation, Penashue blamed Bowers for problems with his election campaign. Speaking about Penashue when he resigned to run again in the 2013 byelection, Prime Minister Stephen Harper referred to Penashue as “the best member of Parliament Labrador has ever had.” In his remarks, Penashue described Bowers as an “inexperienced volunteer” who handled his paperwork and campaign donations, which included ineligible corporate donations.
