MONTREAL — A published report says Julie Couillard's mother received a three-year mandate from the federal government to arbitrate employment-insurance disputes.
Montreal La Presse says Diane Bellemare was handed the term on Aug. 1, 2007, a few weeks before Couillard accompanied Maxime Bernier to his swearing-in as foreign affairs minister.
The newspaper says the part-time deal in Saint-Jerome, north of Montreal, is worth up to $50,000 a year.
Leslie Harmer, a spokeswoman for Human Resources Minister Monte Solberg, says Bellemare underwent security clearance.
She could not say if it was known whether Bellemare was Couillard's mother.

The chance of the destruction of our planet is very very small with this collider, but who are these people to decide what risks are acceptable for all of mankind? It puts me at unease and adds to my anxiety. CERN acknowledges that there are miniscule risks -- they admit to it so please spare the convoluted retorts.
