Former Toronto mayor John Tory broke ethics rules in his extra-marital affair with a female staffer and by subsequently voting on a city council item involving the woman’s new workplace, the city’s integrity commissioner has decided.
In a 122-page report released on Oct. 5, Toronto Integrity Commissioner Jonathan Batty concluded that Mr. Tory breached two sections of the code of conduct involving his affair with a junior subordinate, which was revealed on Feb. 10 when the former mayor stepped down from his position.
