Minister's sister-in-law steps down as ethics watchdog after committee launches probe
Published Wednesday, April 19, 2023 4:54PM EDOTTAWA -- The sister-in-law of a Liberal cabinet minister has stepped down as the interim ethics commissioner a day after a House of Commons committee agreed to investigate her appointment.
Martine Richard, who has worked in the commissioner's office as a lawyer since 2013, took over the top job last month for a six-month stint.
Richard is the sister-in-law of Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who was found to have breached conflict-of-interest rules in 2018 for approving a lucrative fishing licence for a family member while he was fisheries minister.
A statement from the office of the conflict of interest and ethics commissioner says Richard will stay on as a lawyer while the search for a new leader continues.
A spokeswoman says neither the office nor Richard will respond to further questions on the subject.
On Tuesday, the committee on access to information, privacy and ethics agreed to study Richard's appointment over the course of three hearings, and to invite her and LeBlanc to testify.

Interim ethics commissioner with family ties to minister steps down
https://www.cbc.ca/news/
Interim ethics commissioner with family ties to minister steps down
Martine Richard will stay on in a senior role in the ethics commissioner's office
Martine Richard was appointed to the role in March for what was supposed to be a period of six months. The last commissioner, Mario Dion, retired in February.
But Richard has stepped away from the role she was appointed to only weeks ago, according to a press release from the ethics commissioner's office released on Wednesday.
"Martine Richard has informed the Privy Council Office (PCO) that she will no longer be serving as interim commissioner," the statement said.
Richard is the sister-in-law of Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and her appointment caused an uproar among the opposition parties, particularly the Conservatives.
Conservative MPs questioned Richard's appointment, pointing out that a number of Liberal MPs — including LeBlanc — have run afoul of ethics rules in the past.
Liberals defended the appointment, saying Richard has held a senior position in the ethics commissioner's office for years and was hired when Stephen Harper was prime minister.
On Tuesday, the committee on access to information, privacy and ethics agreed to study Richard's appointment over the course of three hearings, and to invite her and LeBlanc to testify.
Wednesday's statement said Richard will stay on in a senior position with the commissioner's office.

How boring is politicking in the Maritimes when a Green Meanie Leader
gets booted out of the House and nobody cares?
http://www.cbc.radio-canada.
Values and Ethics Commissioner
Diane Girard was appointed as the Corporation’s first Values and
Ethics Commissioner on September 19th, 2016. Her role is to provide
employees with guidance and support on ethics matters, be a point of
contact for concerns and complaints regarding the Code of Conduct and
related policies, as well as develop and manage the Corporation’s
ethics program. Before her nomination as Commissioner,
Ms. Girard practised as an ethics consultant for organizations from
the public, private and professional sectors for 20 years. Prior to
that, as a trained lawyer, she practised labour law for many years.
A recognized authority in the field of organizational ethics, she has
published numerous book chapters and articles in such journals as
Gestion and Éthique publique. She also conducted a two year study on
practices in organizational ethics in Québec, with 107 participant
organizations of the private, public and health sectors.
Helping managers and employees develop their ethical leadership and
capabilities has always been important for Ms. Girard, which is why
she lectured for 15 years in business and organizational ethics at
McGill University, and also taught similar courses at Laval University
and Université de Sherbrooke.
Ms. Girard holds a master’s degree in business administration (MBA), a
master’s degree in law and a postgraduate diploma in applied ethics.
She also completed a PhD in management and ethics at HEC Montréal.
She is the founder and past president of the Quebec Organizational
Ethics Network (RÉOQ). She sat on the board of the Ethics
Practitioners' Association of Canada (1999 -2003), and served as its
Quebec regional coordinator in a volunteer capacity for 13 years. She
also sat on the board of the Canadian Human Rights Foundation for a
few years
Mandate
CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada’s national public broadcaster and one of
its largest cultural institutions. In the fulfillment of this critical
role, the Corporation’s Code of Conduct and other related policies
(namely policies on Conflict of Interest, Anti-Discrimination and
Harassment, Political Activity, Disclosure of Wrongdoing, and Fraud
and Theft) outline the broad range of values, expected behaviours, and
standards of integrity and business conduct that guide employees at
all levels.
CBC/Radio-Canada has created the Values and Ethics Commissioner
position to nurture an ethical environment. The Commissioner is
neutral and independent. To ensure this independence and neutrality,
the Commissioner has a direct reporting line to the CEO.
The Commissioner’s mandate has three main components:
Advisory Role
The Commissioner provides information, advice and guidance to all
employees about their own situations and their concerns regarding
values and ethics, namely regarding the Code of Conduct and other
related policies governing ethical behaviour, other than the
Journalistic Standards and Practices.
The Commissioner is responsible for the development and management of
the Corporation’s ethics program. She also periodically evaluates the
ethical culture and climate of the organization, and makes
recommendations.
Educational Role
The Commissioner contributes to the development and implementation of
values and ethics training, providing opportunities for awareness and
learning regarding such topics as ethics responsibilities, ethical
issues and ethical decision-making.
Investigative Role
Concerns or complaints relating to values and ethics can be submitted
directly to the Commissioner’s office by employees. Other than those
relating to the Journalistic Standards and Practices. The Commissioner
also acts as the designated Senior Officer for the Corporation’s
Policy on the Disclosure of Wrongdoings (Whistleblower Policy).
She is also the point of contact for members of the public who have
reason to believe that a CBC/Radio-Canada employee is not complying
with our Code of Conduct or related policies, except for complaints
regarding the Journalistic Standards and Practices, which are covered
by the Ombudsmen.
