Former finance minister Bill Morneau is a hot topic on the Hill again, this time on the lobby circuit, where he’s now officially known as “Bill Morneau, OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation) Nominee.”
Morneau’s former director of operations, Sharan Kaur has been granted a rare exemption under the Lobbying Act to reach out to government officials on behalf of her one-time boss from Nov.10 until March 17, 2021, albeit under strict parameters.
As per the publicly posted notice, Kaur “may only communicate with public office holders from Global Affairs Canada and the Prime Minister’s Office, solely to arrange meetings, or to obtain or provide documents and information regarding [Morneau’s] candidacy as Secretary-General of the OECD.”
