Deputy Minister of National Defence Christiane Fox says she was trying to introduce “outside perspectives” to Immigration Canada when she encouraged her former ministry to recruit an acquaintance.
Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Konrad von Finckenstein announced the results of an investigation last week that found Fox urged subordinates at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to hire Björn Charles, who is black, as a project manager in March 2023, while she was still serving as deputy minister at the ministry.
