Efforts by MPs to uncover if a mysterious “Randy” named in text messages refers to Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault were inconclusive during an ethics committee meeting July 17 aimed at uncovering whether the minister violated conflict of interest rules.

Tory MPs have now called on Mr. Boissonnault to reappear before the House of Commons committee after his former associate admitted that he lied to a reporter about there being a second “Randy” employed at the company.
