The House of Commons ethics committee has voted to study a conflict of interest violation by International Trade Minister Mary Ng.
According to a report by Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion last December, Ng broke conflict of interest rules in the spring of 2020 by awarding a contract to the public relations firm Pomp and Circumstance, which was co-founded by Amanda Alvaro, a friend of Ng’s.
Ng said during question period in the House of Commons in December that she takes “full responsibility” and should have recused herself. "We have a system that has the kind of accountability and transparency that works and that is clear to reassure Canadians that if someone is taking advantage of the system — either deliberately or by accident — they'll get caught and called out on it. And that's an example of the institutions working," Trudeau said in a year-end conversation with Chief News Anchor and Senior Editor of CTV National News Omar Sachedina.
