The company co -founded by the former federal minister of the cabinet Randy Boissonnault It is now forbidden to do business with the federal government until 2030.
Global Health Imports was suspended in November and was deemed inadmissible to contracts with the government.
The company, which Boissonnault started before being elected in 2021, was at the center of a series of scandals which finally forced the deputy of Edmonton to leave the office.
This fall, the National Post and Global News revealed that the company was described as a total property of Aboriginal people to request government contracts for indigenous companies.
Boissonnault said he did not know that this statement had been made, but he was also criticized for his changing claims to indigenous identity.
In November, Boissonnault resigned from the cabinet and apologized to a committee of the House of Commons, telling the other deputies that he was not indigenous.
He had been described as native several times in communications from the Liberal Party, qualified as “non-stutut adopted Cree” and said that his great-grandmother was a “full-fledged Cree woman”.

Boissonnault and his former trading partner were also interviewed during the chamber committee surveys on global health imports.
