Mackasey Named in Lobby Scandal Revealed in Tape
A Montreal Gazette master tape from a Quebec court recording claims Liberal MP Bryce Mackasey acted as a paid lobbyist. The tape, captured during Les Ateliers d'Asinage Hall Ltée bankruptcy proceedings, names Mackasey as the lobbyist amid alleged cash payments and a large loan. Harrison, former Montreal Board of Trade president, is said to have identified Mackasey on the recording, though he denied naming him outside court. Harrison was slated to appear before the parliamentary committee.
