Brosseau didn’t graduate

Staff error causes further embarrassment

Rookie NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau is facing more embarrassment after St. Lawrence College confirmed she didn’t graduate in contradiction to her biography on the party’s website. “This individual is not a graduate of St. Lawrence College,” vice-president external affairs Gord MacDougall said on Tuesday. The NDP’s director of communications Kathleen Monk said the error was not Brosseau’s fault.
