  MP Maria Minna cleared by ethics counsellor
Liberal MP Maria Minna did not break election laws when she cast a ballot in a civic byelection, the federal ethics counsellor ruled Friday.
Howard Wilson said that Minna was "entitled and eligible to vote" in the November 2001 election in Toronto.
But the Canadian Alliance demanded Minna be dropped from her cabinet post as international co-operation minister, noting that her campaign manager was working for the same municipal politician Minna voted for.
