COMMENTARY He said the judgment against him ear- lier this year for $21,550 relates to a suc- cessfully concluded business negotiation. The other, issued in August of 1992, arose out of a dispute with his ex-wife Lynn Malboeuf over child support for the couple’s daughter. It has since been resolved, he stressed. “I accepted and agreed to the fact that I had some responsibility pertaining to these leases. What we could not agree upon was the amount involved," he said. The larger sum involves negotiations with a leasing film over three vehicles. When a company in which he was a prinâ€" ciple ceased operations in 1991, Malboeuf said he, as the sole remaining owner in what had been a three-way partâ€" nership, became responsible for the lia- bilities of the leases. impropriety. @ Fine Oak (E with two 12" leafs plus four 6 spindle _. side chairs.

Malboeuf said the child support dispute has since been dropped and “neither I nor my ex-wife have pur- sued this matter any further.” “Since my separation in 1984 and subsequent divorce I have paid out over $36,000 in support for my daughter and over $52,000 for my son, who I am oon- tinuing to support at the amount of $475 a month. The $5,700 was a matter of principle for me.” “It is a false and malicious lie to imply I'm not a responsible father,” he said.

OF B] Doctor Somersall resigned over a rift that developed 'following the appoint- ment of David Andrus as his campaign manager. Andrus, the former president of Reform’s Don Valley West riding in Toronto; was expelled from the Reform Party for backing candidate John Gamble. Gamble was ousted by the party for allegedly associating with neo-Nazis. Earlier this year Malboeuf, who fin- ished second in the party’s nomination race last year, was named to succeed Allan Somersall as the Oakville-Milton Reform candidate amid controversy. The candidate said he was advised by both the party’s head office and the rid- ing’s executive committee not to make his credit information public, but to have “my documents ready.” At the same time, Malboeuf said he was warned “if it looks like you’te going to win that n'ding, they’ll pull it.” I “This is coming from dissidents from within the party determined to torpedo my campaign. I can't state if there are other parties involved. It looks strange they’ve waited until this moment because they’ve had the information in their pos- session since July.” Malboeuf said he has the full support of both the party’s head office in Calgary and the local association’s board of, direc- tors. He added that his credit information was fully disclosed on a confidential basis to the party’s candidate selection committee and the-riding’s executive.
