Any government has to have a liaison with potential investors so why not a fundraising event? I guess if your a cynical pedantic civil servant you can't possibly fathom a situation where some courtesies have to be extended. I'm okay if this is the way Trudeau conducts his fishing expeditions. It certainly weeds out pretenders and shows how serious Trudeau is towards drumming up business for Canada. If you gave a better solution, I'm all ears.
