Firmes d'avocats et PLQ riment ensemble!

Of the 29 law firm lawyers appointed to the Quebec Superior Court or Quebec Court of Appeal for the first time during that period, 21, or 72.4 per cent, had made individual contributions to the Liberals.

In fact, The Gazette's investigation reveals that the overwhelming majority of contributions made by those later named to the bench was to the Liberal Party during the 10-year period of contributions studied.

Donations to other political parties were negligible. Out of roughly 100 individual contributions identified, there were less than a half dozen possible contributions to the Bloc and even fewer to the Conservatives.

Moreover, the largest and most frequent contributions appear to cluster around the period from 1996-97 to 2001-02. That is roughly the same period in the spotlight at the moment in the probe into the sponsorship scandal.

Many candidates who had never contributed to the Liberal Party before that or who had made relatively small contributions suddenly began after 1996 to contribute, or to give significantly larger sums.

In several cases, the contributions appear to start only three to five years before the individual was named to the bench
