Parliamentary Ethics committee meets on Tuesday as the new parl sessions begin this week. Justin Trudeau's $9,300 per night vacation lodgings donated by a 'friend' on the agenda - and interim Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Konrad von Finkenstein to testify. Democracy Watch writes von Finkenstein has one of the worst enforcement records, adding "he has buried 8 ethics complaints, including about PM Trudeau, and gutted 3 key rules - Is he the lapdog Trudeau has been trying to get as Ethics Commissioner?"
Guest: Duff Conacher, co-founder Democracy Watch(.ca), lawyer and author.
