Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters he’s making sure that “all rules are followed” regarding a lucrative contract reportedly awarded to a communications firm with family ties to a senior staffer of the Liberal’s Minister of Housing and Diversity Ahmed Hussen.

On Jan. 19, Global News reported that Hussen’s office has spent $93,050 in constituency funds since January 2021 on Munch More Media, a Toronto-based marketing agency that specializes in the food sector, for communications work that reaches out to the minister’s constituents.
