Indeed, a pin dropping was about the only sound that could have been heard before and between speeches of high emotion, stories of dignity, charity and family, and even dashes of humour at the memorial service for Barry and Honey Sherman on Dec. 21. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Toronto Mayor John Tory sat with the Sherman family in the front rows of the cavern- ous International Centre, near Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ont. They were joined by thousands of friends, family and employees of Apotex, the gen- eric drug company that Barry Sherman founded in 1974 and grew into a multi-bil- lion-dollar international business. Company employees wore blue T-shirts with the message, “We will continue your legacy,” written on the back. Two coffins were prominently displayed Honey and Barry Sherman, “loved life so much. They loved to celebrate,” their son Jonathon said at the memorial service. at the front of the hall.

According to an article in the National Post, tickets for the event cost $1,500. You can see that article at: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/justin-trudeau-fundraiser- picketed-by-jewish-group-over-liberals-support-for-iran-nuclear-deal. At the time of the event, Apotex was registered to lobby the House of Commons (which means it confirmed that it was lobbying at least some MPs, possibly including Mr. Trudeau) and Mr. Sherman was included as a registered lobbyist in that registration. Currently, Apotex (including Mr. Sherman), along with several consultant lobbyists it has hired since March 1, 2016, are all registered to lobby the Prime Minister’s Office. The consultant lobbyists registered to lobby the Prime Minister’s Office on behalf of Apotex are Aaron Dobbin, John Duffy, Andrew Steele, Brian Teefy and Danya Vered (all five work at StrategyCorp Inc.), as well as Lester Scheininger.
