How did promotion of TV series for China aid National Unity? via Newsbeat1, May 20, 05, Montreal Gazette, from an article by William Marsden, The Gazette, May 19, 05

Ex-minister paid to lobby, probe told -- Justice John Gomery questions how David Dingwall's promotion of TV series for China aided national unity

A former senior Liberal cabinet minister was paid $180,038 to obtain money from the federal sponsorship program to make a series of television programs that were broadcast only in China, the Gomery commission heard yesterday.

Just eight months after he was defeated in the June 1997 election, David Dingwall became a lobbyist for Toronto advertising firm Vickers & Benson.

Normally, government officials are required to undergo a "cooling-off period" of one year before they start lobbying.

There are no rules for Liberals, it seems.
