The Aga Khan, one of the central figures in an ethics scandal involving the prime minister, will visit Canada to celebrate his Diamond Jubilee. Over the last year, Trudeau has come under fire for taking a vacation to a private island owned by the Aga Khan. "When Mr. Trudeau, as prime minister, accepted the gifts of hospitality from the Aga Khan and the use of his private island in March and December 2016, there were ongoing official dealings with the Aga Khan, and the Aga Khan Foundation Canada was registered to lobby his office," Mary Dawson's office told CBC News in December. In February 2014, the Aga Khan was the first faith leader to address a joint session of the Canadian Parliament. Canada has worked with the Aga Khan Foundation on international humanitarian and developmental initiatives.
