Gurmant Grewal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1353 words)
Gurmant and his wife, Nina Grewal, were the first married couple to serve in the Canadian House of Commons at the same time.
Unbeknownst to his interlocutors, Grewal was recording the conversations, a fact that he revealed to the public on the evening of May 18th, where Grewal publicly accused the Liberals of trying to buy his vote with offers of a cabinet or a diplomatic post for himself and a senate seat for his wife.
On June 6, Grewal announced that he was taking a "stress leave" from Parliament, after Air Canada announced that he was under investigation for attempting to induce passengers on a flight from Vancouver to Ottawa, on which Grewal was not travelling, to carry a package on his behalf, which would have violated security regulations.
