The Conservative Party of Canada has brought in independent legal counsel to help review whether one of its committees has the jurisdiction to hear Patrick Brown challenge his disqualification
Brown has hired Marie Henein, a high-profile lawyer who successfully defended Jian Ghomeshi, among other clients.
“Independent counsel has therefore been retained to advise on this important question, which will guide the party’s response to Mr. Brown’s lawyers,” Baran wrote. Chisholm Pothier said Brown spent the weekend attending a multicultural festival in Brampton and celebrating the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
Committee members ousted him in an 11 to six vote over an allegation that he breached federal election financing laws.
