A mere $250 fine was doled out.
The latest Liberal to be involved with an ethics issue is Alex Wellstead, a press secretary for Justin Trudeau.
The Ethics Commissioner posted a notice today, revealing that Wellstead has been charged $250 for “failing to disclose a material change related to assets within 30 days after the change.”

As you can see, the penalty is a pathetic $250, which doesn’t do anything to dissuade ethics problems whatsoever.
And what can we expect from a corrupt system where the punishments applied to politicians are set by the politicians themselves?
