As calls mount for Liberal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault to resign over conflicting claims about his family’s Indigenous heritage, Global News has learned Edmonton police are investigating an allegation of fraud made against Boissonnault’s former company and business partner.
Michael Weber, a Florida-based lawyer who is the legal counsel for medical supply procurement company 4M Medical LLC, said he submitted a police report on July 31 regarding 4M Medical’s failed transaction with Global Health Imports.
The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) confirmed that the complaint is under investigation.
Boissonnault co-founded medical supply company Global Health Imports (GHI) with Stephen Anderson, a former hockey coach, in early 2020.
The Edmonton Centre MP said he resigned from the company after he was re-elected and appointed to cabinet in the fall of 2021. He remained a 50-per cent shareholder in the company until June, when he surrendered his stake.
