Securities Commission of perpetrating “a fraudulent scheme” through several investment companies, is the sole director of Organic Eco-Centre Corp. The company, which was named in the Securities Commission allegations, is the listed sponsor for a July 2015 Richmond Chamber of Commerce lunch featuring Trudeau. Photos obtained by Postmedia show Paul Oei breaking bread with Trudeau at the luncheon’s head table, and introducing Trudeau to the sold-out crowd. Oei and Trudeau embraced before the future prime minister addressed a packed room of Richmond business and political figures.
