As the holidays approach and Canadians dig through their pockets to support charitable causes, The Huffington Post Canada has learned several Quebec MPs — mostly New Democrats — have been using their office budgets to support third-party organizations.
The rules officially state that MPs cannot use any of their budgets for third-party fundraising, events, groups or causes.
Montreal-area Liberal MP Emmanuel Dubourg told HuffPost he doesn’t know how the NDP MPs could donate to charities.
