released a heavily edited report from the draft reports and stated, "While it is not clear whether Mr. Grewal genuinely sought an inducement to change his vote or whether he just acted the part in an attempt to entrap Mr. Dosanjh, his actions were, in either case, extremely inappropriate". The report also said that Grewal's behaviour violated the spirit of the MPs’ Code of Conduct. The Liberals claimed that it was Grewal who approached them seeking patronage appointments for himself and his wife in exchange for their votes. Grewal did not run for re-election in 2006, saying he did not want the controversies surrounding his behaviour to be a distraction during the campaign. Attempted political comeback Grewal had planned to stand for the Conservatives in the new riding of Cloverdale—Langley City in the 2015 federal election, spending two years to sign up 1,500 party members in his pursuit of the nomination, but in November 2014 he was barred by the party from seeking the nomination. His son, Liv Grewal, was to run for the Conservatives in Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon after defeating four other candidates to win the nomination but was subsequently forced by the party to withdraw. In 2018, Grewal announced his support for ex-Conservative MP Maxime Bernier's new party, the People's Party of Canada. Awards and accolades In 2002, he was awarded the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for service to Canada. In 2003, then the Leader of the Opposition Stephen Harper Prime Minister of Canada called Grewal "the Ironman of Canadian Parliament". In 2012, Grewal was awarded Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science and Diplomacy Honoris Causa degree by the Caucasus University in Georgia. Grewal was awarded the 'World Sikh Award' in 2012 at London, U.K. and he was listed 27th most influential Sikh in the world.
