The UPAC (Unité Permanente Anti-Corruption), which is Quebec's department of investigation, obtained a search warrant in order to find evidence of illegal political funding made by the PLQ (Parti libéral du Québec). After the confession of Lino Zambito, an ex-businessman linked to the mafia, which were accusing the government of corruption, the UPAC built a case against the Party and this summer, when nobody was watching them because of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy, they obtained a warrant and went directly in the principal PLQ offices in Montreal. The warrant was then sealed, so the public couldn't ever know what were the motives behind this search. It is sad to see that in a society like today where money is tight and every budget is closely watched, our own government still abuses our trust and doesn't use the taxpayers money the way it was meant to be used. From a subjective point of view, some might argue that the people who gave an illegal amount of money had the moral right to do it because it was their money, but from an objective point of view, the UPAC made a great job, because the laws have to be followed.
