Le lobby qui n'existe pas
"Les députés fédéraux ont continué à profiter des voyages offerts par des organismes en 2008, alors que 55 députés sur 308 ont voyagé aux frais d'organismes d'influence.
C'est ce qui ressort d'un rapport rendu public dernièrement par la commissaire aux conflits d'intérêts et à l'éthique Mary Dawson. On y apprend notamment que 22 députés du Parti libéral du Canada, 20 élus conservateurs, huit bloquistes et cinq néodémocrates ont profité de ces voyages. Avec des dépenses de 229 345 $, le Comité Canada-Israël, qui a fourni des voyages à 24 députés, arrive en tête de liste.[...]
Le chef du Bloc québécois, Gilles Duceppe, a notamment fait un voyage en Israël en 2008 avec sa femme, qui s'est échelonné entre le 27 juillet et le 5 août et qui a coûté 15 557 $.
Le chef adjoint du Nouveau parti démocratique et député d'Outremont, Thomas Mulcair, s'est également rendu en Israël aux frais du Comité Canada-Israël. Son voyage, entièrement payé, a coûté 7900 $."

CIC chair Moshe Ronen talks in Winnipeg on government policy.
Moshe Ronen, chair of the Canada Israel Committee, said that his organization is prepared in the event that there is a change of government in Canada. Ronen, who is also vice-president of the World Jewish Congress, spoke to a gathering of the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg on Dec. 4.
”We have continually been in contact with everyone in the House of Commons and we’ve insulated ourselves should there be a new Canadian government in place. We’ve never played partisan politics. We’ve invested in all of the political parties,” said Ronen. “We’ve tried to keep Israel from being a wedge issue.”
Ronen said that the Bloc Quebecois’ Gil Duceppe “is a strong friend of Israel, who identifies more with Israel than with the Palestinians.” The two were in Israel recently and “he [Duceppe] agreed not to make Israel a wedge issue in Canadian politics.” Ronen said that New Democratic party leader Jack Layton has also agreed to this.
