Bruce Carson, 66, a former, long-time aide to Prime Minister Harper is under investigation for lobbying Indian Affairs and Indian Affairs Minister John Duncan on behalf of a water filtration company (H2O Pros) which was attempting to land contracts to sell filtration systems to First Nations reserves with severe water problems. The contracts were potentially worth millions to the company which “employed” a 22 year old escort, Michele McPherson. Carson and McPherson share a home outside Ottawa.
McPherson’s name is on a “secret contract” that guarantees her 20% of all gross revenues from sales related to the contracts on First Nation reserves, according to a copy of the contract which has been obtained by the APTN investigators.
Since APTN broke the news last week, Harper has immediately distanced himself from Carson. The Prime Minister’s Office asked the RCMP, the Commissioner of Lobbying and the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner to investigate Carson’s activities after APTN disclosed some of the information gathered in the course of the investigation.
Here’s a link to the story (and a 4:15 video) on the APTN website.
