Feds’ ethics watchdog pick won’t commit to probes of Trudeau, Morneau
OTTAWA — The Liberal government’s nominee for federal ethics watchdog won’t commit to completing ongoing investigations into the prime minister or finance minister if he gets the job.
But Mario Dion told the House of Commons ethics committee that if he is appointed, reviewing the files would be a top priority.
“One of the first things I would attend to (is) review the whole genesis of those investigations,” Dion said.
“I would own the final result and therefore I have to assess what has been done to date to determine whether I am supportive of that, but abandoning an investigation completely without reason is not something I would do.”
