Business & Financial Interests
Before being elected to Parliament, Angelo Iacono worked as a lawyer for over 20 years. He reportedly founded and served as the president of his own law firm, Iacono Avocats Inc. His legal practice focused on areas such as civil and commercial litigation, tax law, and real estate law.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
In 2017, questions were raised about a private member's bill sponsored by Angelo Iacono. The bill, which proposed a tax deduction for tradespeople's travel expenses, was reportedly very similar to a proposal from the FTQ-Construction union. Media reports noted that the union had run advertisements supporting Iacono. The matter was referred to the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, who reviewed the complaint but decided not to launch a formal inquiry, stating there were not sufficient grounds to believe a contravention of the Conflict of Interest Act had occurred.
Public Controversies
In 2021, Angelo Iacono faced criticism for making inappropriate comments towards Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner during a virtual session of the House of Commons. He was accused of making a remark that she was "turning him on." Iacono later issued a formal apology in the House, stating that his comments were inappropriate and that he withdrew them unconditionally.

C-31 Mr. Speaker, how does Billfit in with our objective of building a stronger Canadian economy while supporting workers and households?
Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague on the opposite side a question. The bill also aims to strengthen Canada's defence and national security capabilities. Do the Conservatives support the development of a Canadian defence industry capable of supporting our armed forces and our workers?
Madam Speaker, if the member is concerned about the powers of an independent body, what type of monitoring, transparency and parliamentary oversight would he propose?
Madam Speaker, the bill provides for financial penalties of up to 3% of a company's global revenue. How will these penalties encourage companies to comply with the law, particularly large multinationals?
Mr. Speaker, as Canada works to diversify its trade and reduce reliance on any single trading partner, how can we build our long-lasting relationship with the European Union to strengthen our economic ties, expand opportunities for Canadian businesses and workers and unlock the full potential of this important partnership?
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my full support to the mayor of Laval, Stéphane Boyer, who is currently recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumour. For several years now, Mr. Boyer has dedicated himself to serving the Laval community. Public life demands a deep commitment and many sacrifices, both for elected officials and for their loved ones. Today, I want to express my solidarity
