Global Health Imports ( GHI ) suspended from bidding or entering into contracts with the federal government, effective Nov. 22 .

Global News investigations revealed GHI ’s legal troubles, including nearly $8-million in court-ordered debts, and later text messages.

Boissonnault co-founded GHI with Stephen Anderson , an Edmonton -area hockey coach, in early 2020 .

When he was re-elected in the fall of 2021 , he said he resigned from GHI and no longer had any role in the company's operations.

Elections Canada also issued a full stop-work order to GHI a day after Global News reported that GHI was under criminal investigation.

Boissonnault ’s office previously told Global News he had no knowledge of the Elections Canada contract.

Federal ethics laws forbid cabinet ministers from having stakes in companies that are awarded federal contracts.
