Should politicians accept corporate gifts like Taylor Swift tickets?
Federal cabinet minister Harjit Sajjan is defending his decision to accept taxpayer-funded Taylor Swift tickets. Sajjan donated $1,500 to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank in lieu of payment for the tickets provided by Crown corporation PAVCO. Neil McArthur, a philosophy professor and director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba, joined BC Today's Michelle Eliot to discuss whether politicians should ever accept these types of corporate gifts.
