Canada’s consul-general to New York has rejected accusations he was involved in the government’s purchase of a $9 million condo for his official residence in the city, following a Global Affairs email alleging he was “instrumental throughout the process.”
“I had no role whatsoever in deciding to sell the old residence, buy the new residence, or decide on its amenities or its location,” Consul General Tom Clark told the Government Operations and Estimates (OGGO) committee on Sept. 12.
