Canada’s former ambassador to China recently accepted a top appointment with a mining giant which does over half of its sales in China. Now, two MPs are asking the Ethics Commissioner to probe the issue to determine if any conflict of interest rules were broken.
NDP MPs Heather McPherson and Matthew Green wrote a letter to commissioner Mario Dion highlighting areas of concern such as the string of events ahead of ex-ambassador Dominic Barton’s new appointment. McPherson is NDP critic for foreign affairs and Green is the ethics critic.
