Kevin O’Leary to fix accounting to ensure private planes meet campaign rules
EDMONTON — Federal Conservative leadership candidate Kevin O’Leary says he is going to alter his accounting procedures to make sure he is meeting the rules on using private planes.
O’Leary has been using private planes but only charging the campaign the price of a standard airline ticket.
That raised questions on whether he was exceeding the $25,000 personal cap on how much a candidate can donate to his own campaign.
“That was my mistake. I got that wrong,” O’Leary told reporters Tuesday night after skipping a Conservative leadership debate to speak to supporters.
