Raj Grewal, the first-term MP for Brampton East, receives “employment income” from Zgemi Inc., a construction company headed by Yusuf Yenilmez, a Liberal supporter. OTTAWA—A Liberal MP who is paid to provide legal advice to a Brampton construction company helped get the firm’s president an invitation to a high-profile reception during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s trip to India. Grewal told the Star that Yenilmez organized his own trip to India and said the two did not travel to India together. “MP Grewal invited him to the reception,” Trudeau spokesperson Chantal Gagnon told the Star in an email. In a followup statement to the Star, Grewal said he invited a “diverse group of more than 30 supporters and stakeholders” to participate in events around the India trip.
