Trouble for Quebec MNA

It seems that Liberal MNA Jean D’amour has had past actions during his successor’s 2007 campaign into question. During the municipal election in Rivere-du-loup, Quebec, D’amour received an illegal bribe of $500 to guarantee the election of upcoming mayor Michel Morin. Troubled by this situation, D’amour advised Morin to return the money and ignore the incentive. D’amour followed Morin’s advice and returned the money to an unnamed person. Following this Morin went on to win the election, moving on as if nothing had happened. As a result of recent predicaments, D’amour finds himself under investigation for unrelated activity. D’amour has admitted and apologized for the 2007 electoral bribe and clearly moved on, stating “My integrity does not have a price.” Consequently, D’amour has decided to sit as an independent and will move back to the Liberal party once his name is cleared. Fortunately for the Liberal party, D’amour knows to put his personal problems aside, allowing for a unaltered and conflict free Liberal party.
