In one of Mr. Clement's e-mails, mention is made of a meeting of the Local Area Leadership Group that was to take place during the election period. Mr. Clement wrote that he expected to attend and that he would be there even if an election was called.
Once again, I would like to know what rules apply to ministers in election campaigns. Is meeting with local officials at an official function to discuss federal allocations acceptable in the middle of an election campaign?
