The Conservative Party of Canada has disqualified Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown from running in the leadership race, citing allegations the financial rules of the Elections Act had been violated. The party’s leadership elections committee says it has referred the matter to Elections Canada.
“In recent weeks, our Party became aware of serious allegations of wrongdoing by the Patrick Brown campaign that appear to violate the financial provisions of the Canada Elections Act," Ian Brodie, chair of the Conservative Party Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC), said in a July 5 statement.
