Federal Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion says Liberal MP Greg Fergus breached the Conflict of Interest Act for writing to Canada’s broadcast regulator in support of a television channel’s application for mandatory carriage.
Furthermore, because of Fergus’ breach and a number of others that Dion says he has observed over the past several years, the ethics commissioner is advising that the federal government “consider mandating all ministers and parliamentary secretaries to receive training” from his office.
