The press also asked Chebat to respond to other reports from the PSU that his son has been issued with a government fuel card.
He said that they are mistaken, but explained that because he uses his family vehicle for government business some confusion ay arise. Here's how he explained the situation this morning:
Reporter
"How do you respond to the allegation as well from the president of the PSU that your son is driving a government vehicle and is being allowed to use fuel and what have you?"
Hon. Michel Chebat - Ministry of Health and Wellness
"Well, he's not. Not even I drive a government vehicle. As you all know, I'm using my family vehicle because the government has not afforded me a vehicle, so I'm using my family vehicle. I get a gas allowance, which I use for my vehicle. And yes, there have been times that I've been in the city, and I've asked my sons, one or either of them, to be filled the vehicle for me or to take me somewhere. And it is my family vehicle."
Reporter
"But he does not have a government."
Hon. Michel Chebat
"He does not. It is my fuel card."
