Payola? That would be cynical

The former Chief of Staff to Conservative PM Mulroney, Bernard Roy, was appointed Chairman of the Port of Montreal. His Port related qualifications, err, umm, he was the legal counsel to the Gommery Commission.

He is also on the Board of World Point Terminals Inc., which can be reached at their Montreal office by calling this Calgary number:
World Point Terminals Inc.

1981 McGill College Avenue, Suite 1100 Montreal,
Quebec H3A 3C1 Canada

(403) 261-3700 phone

What does World Point Terminals do? The Group's principal activity is to own and operate fourteen liquid bulk storage and terminal facilities along with a tug operation. Their 2006 annual report mentions investigations into their European operation.

Back to Roy, I am sure that it is a mere coincidence that he is a Conservative. I am sure that this appointment is based on err, cough, cough...competence.
