NDP asks ethics commissioner to review Jason Kenney’s trip to India

EDMONTON – The NDP caucus has asked the ethics commissioner to look into opposition Leader Jason Kenney’s trip last week to India.

During the trip, Kenney, his energy critic Prasad Panda, and trade critic Devin Dreeshen toured the massive Jamnagar oil refinery on India’s west coast.

Kenney has since talked about the refinery, owned by Reliance Industries, and the owner company’s interest in doing business with Canada.

NDP legislature member Heather Sweet, speaking on behalf of the caucus, says Panda used to work for Reliance and still has shares in it.
