LIBERALS FAIL TO HONOUR LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS

An ethics watchdog is suing the Trudeau government for the way it handled appointments for the lobbying and ethics commissioners, saying the Liberals failed to honour legislative requirements mandating consultations with all parties recognized in the House of Commons. 
Democracy Watch announced on Jan. 18 that it had filed lawsuits in Federal Court challenging the appointments of Mario Dion as ethics commissioner and Nancy BĂ©langer as lobbying commissioner on the grounds that opposition parties were not adequately consulted during the nomination process.
