Trudeau to be questioned by ethics watchdog over reports of cash for access; Guardian, 12/15/16

Ashifa Kassam, Guardian; Trudeau to be questioned by ethics watchdog over reports of cash for access:
"Justin Trudeau will be questioned by Canada’s ethics watchdog over reports of political fundraisers that allegedly offered privileged access to the prime minister and his cabinet ministers for a price.
The development marks the first time in a decade that the ethics commissioner has questioned a sitting prime minister and is a turning point for Trudeau who swept to a majority government last year on broad promises to run a transparent administration that would abide by the highest standards of ethics."
