Full Weight of the Law
Part IV of the Criminal Code of Canada highlights Offences against the Administration of Law and Justice.

119.
(1) Every one who
(a) being the holder of a judicial office, or being a member of Parliament or of the legislature of a province, corruptly
(i) accepts or obtains,
(ii) agrees to accept, or
(iii) attempts to obtain,
any money, valuable consideration, office, place or employment for himself or another person in respect of anything done or omitted or to be done or omitted by him in his official capacity, or
(b) gives or offers, corruptly, to a person mentioned in paragraph (a) any money, valuable consideration, office, place or employment in respect of anything done or omitted or to be done or omitted by him in his official capacity for himself or another person,

is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years

In the case before the court of public opinion, it should not matter whom approached whom, the approach itself is a crime, and the act of discussion of such a crime is Conspiracy. The Honorable Gurmant Grewal, his wife The Honorable Nina Grewal, The Honorable Minister of Health Ujjal Dosanj, and the Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Canada - broke the law. They should all resign and be held accountable for thier breach of section 119 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Throw the book at them... and perhaps you will stop the freefall of the public trust in thier government... I hope.
