Ethics commissioner frustrated by Liberals' lapses: 'Act has been there for 17 years, for God’s sake' cdnpoli

Since 2018, Dion found no less than five senior Liberals in violation of ethics laws, including Trudeau , cabinet ministers Dominic LeBlanc and Mary Ng, former minister Bill Morneau and parliamentary secretary Greg Fergus. The latter three occurred within the last three years. In an interview, ethics expert and associate professor at York University’s school of public policy and administration Ian Stedman shared Dion’s observation.
And yet that did not prevent International Trade Minister Mary Ng from telling a House committee last week that it would be helpful if the commissioner’s office offered “additional” ethics training to political staff after no one in her office raised a flag when she dolled out two contracts to a firm owned by a “close friend.”
That’s part of the reason he took the exceptional step in his report published Tuesday that concluded Fergus broke the act to call on the government to made ethics training mandatory for all ministers and parliamentary secretaries.Article content
