Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson will not seek reappointment when her mandate expires later this year, ending months of speculation about her future in the position.
Marie-Danielle Vachon, communications and policy director for the commissioner’s office, told The Hill Times on Thursday night that Ms. Dawson would not seek another mandate when her current term ends on July 8.
The announcement came a day after The Hill Times reported on concerns being voiced about Ms. Dawson’s ability to thoroughly investigate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Papineau, Que.) and his use of the Aga Khan’s private helicopter in the Bahamas over the holidays while his government could be debating whether to extend her tenure as commissioner.
