The plot thickens

This morning, the office of Indian Affairs Minister John Duncan confirmed a discussion with Bruce Carson. This evening, APTN adds to its investigation of Mr. Carson’s activities.

A former senior advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper was lobbying Indian Affairs to land water contracts potentially worth millions of dollars for an Ottawa-based water company that employed his fiance who was an escort.

The name of Michele McPherson, 22, appears on a secret contract witnessed by Bruce Carson that guaranteed her 20 per cent of all gross revenues from sales related to water contracts on First Nations reserves, according to a copy of the contract obtained by an APTN investigative team.
