Brampton MP Raj Grewal resigned over gambling problem

“The 33-year-old rookie MP was part of a Liberal red wave that swept across the city when he was elected in the 2015 federal election, beating out Conservative incumbent Bal Gosal.

The resignation came on the heels of a probe by the ethics commissioner into allegations of conflict of interest during the prime minister’s trip to India earlier in the year. Grewal drew attention when it was learned he had brought Yusuf Yenilmez, CEO of a GTA construction company, Zgemi Inc., with him on the trip. Yenilmez attended functions during the official visit, which featured meetings and events with influential politicians, business people and bureaucrats from Canada and India.”

A massive story in the City of Brampton, and one that has turned out to be only the top of the iceberg in terms of controversy surrounding Grewal. Definitely more to come.
