Less than a week after he was scolded by the ethics commissioner for his dealings with Rahim Jaffer, it is revealed that Christian Paradis spent an optically questionable weekend hunting moose.

CTV News has learned that in 2009, when Paradis was public works minister, he stayed at the lodge of Marcel Aubut, the former owner of the Quebec Nordiques. At that time, Aubut, who is now president of the Canadian Olympic Committee, was lobbying Ottawa to help fund a $400-million arena in Quebec City.
