Madeleine Meilleur has taken herself out of the running for the position of Canada’s next commissioner of official languages amid accusations that her nomination by the Liberal government was blatantly partisan.
Opposition leaders said the government failed to meet its legal obligations to consult with the other parties in the Commons before nominating Ms. Meilleur. Instead of an opportunity for input, they said they received a letter before the announcement of her nomination telling them the choice had been made and asking for comments.
