Lori Idlout: “I acknowledge the commissioner's findings and take this matter seriously.”

The reason that I created the trust agreement is so that I could separate myself from what's going on with NVision.

It was something that I chose to do because of the scrutiny that I was receiving from certain other parties.

As an elected MP I’m never allowed to be involved in any federal contracts and that’s implementing that obligation.

At the time, I did not consider that these purchases made for legitimate parliamentary purposes would further private interests, as I receive no income from the businesses in question.
