Public Controversies
In 2019, Mr. Boulerice faced controversy when past blog posts he had written before becoming an MP came to light. In the posts, he was critical of Canada's mission in Afghanistan and used language describing soldiers that he later apologized for, stating his choice of words was inappropriate. Separately, in 2014, he was among a group of NDP MPs ordered by the House of Commons' Board of Internal Economy to repay funds used for mailings that were deemed to be overly partisan and therefore an improper use of parliamentary resources.
