OTTAWA — The federal ethics watchdog is expressing concern about a Toronto MP who hired her sister to work in her constituency office.
Mario Dion says in a tweet that he sent Yasmin Ratansi a "letter of concern" about her actions and is giving her 30 days to respond.
Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett, meanwhile, is asking the board of internal economy, the multi-party body that regulates how MPs spend their parliamentary and constituency office budgets, to impose "remedial measures" on Ratansi.
The board, chaired by House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota, has the power to order Ratansi to reimburse all the money paid to her sister, which could amount to as much as $89,700 a year.
