Ex-NDP MP Manon Perreault Given $1,000 Fine After Mischief Conviction

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Jul, 2015 12:43 PM

JOLIETTE, Que. — Former NDP MP Manon Perreault has been given a $1,000 fine and put on one year's probation after being previously convicted of mischief.

The 49-year-old Perreault has been sitting as an Independent MP since being ejected from the NDP caucus in June 2014.

She was found guilty earlier this year of mischief after she falsely accused a former employee of theft.

A Quebec court ruling today also ordered Perreault to pay costs and gave her four months to pay the fine.

The Crown had been seeking a fine of $2,500, while the defence wanted an absolute discharge.

Perreault was elected with more than 50 per cent of the vote in the Quebec riding of Montcalm in 2011 as part of the NDP wave in the province.
