In a press release, a copy of which was obtained by our Bureau of Investigation, BMNJ Interior Systems, where Hugo Bernard is president of the Quebec Business Registry, announced that the latter “has made the decision to temporarily withdraw from the BMNJ business.” .
“It is no secret that Mr Bernard has been going through a turbulent time for some time. […] We understand that this situation may have caused concerns among our teams,” the company emphasizes.
The company sees it as its duty to support the customers who have placed their trust in it.
The press release was written “following the situation that became known regarding Hugo Bernard.”
“Our operations continue and the situation reported by Le Journal de Montréal does not concern the activities of BMNJ,” the company assures.
“The professional problems concern his real estate activities within Gestion Groupe Bernard,” the press release said.
Our Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday that two former business partners of Bernard and the companies are suing him and the companies for $1.3 million.
Luxury and desire
An ultra-luxurious and self-destructive lifestyle was responsible for Hugo Bernard’s financial difficulties, the lawsuit says.
Escorts galore, parties worthy of the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, massive drug use, Rolls-Royces, Ferraris and private jets are among the elements that allegedly got him into trouble, according to allegations.

A building housing the offices of Gestion Groupe Bernard and BMNJ in Laval, mortgaged in favor of the Business Development Bank of Canada, is also subject to seizure pending a creditors’ judgment and a judicial mortgage from Revenu Québec.
