A day after stepping down as economy minister, Pierre Fitzgibbon insists that owning stock in companies that do business with the Quebec government did not place him in a conflict of interest.
Fitzgibbon resigned on Wednesday following a highly critical report by the province s ethics commissioner.
Commissioner Ariane Mignolet made the unusual recommendation to suspend Fitzgibbon from the legislature if he refused to part with his investments in two private companies, the tech firm ImmerVision and White Star Capital, a venture capital fund.
