A former Liberal MP is seeking the dismissal of two criminal charges connected to his time in office.

In written arguments filed in Ontario Superior Court, the defence says Grewal’s conduct falls squarely within the non-criminal category, and the prosecution’s case doesn’t hold water. The most politically salient allegations against Grewal are that he offered lenders face time with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in exchange for their financial help.
Both businessmen described themselves as friends with Grewal and testified that they were unaware their names had been put forward for an exclusive event. Moreover, neither described the opportunity for a photo-op with Trudeau as “particularly valuable,”the defence submission recounts. He went on to suggest that if such letters — and even invitations to meet-and-greets — are standard activities for an MP’s office, it would have been more problematic if Grewal had refused to offer such things.
