Democracy Watch has issued a strongly-worded release condemning
federal Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson for failing to investigate the
case surrounding a funding announcement by Peter Penashue just days
before the byelection call in Labrador. Democracy Watch submitted a
complaint to the Ethics Commissioner after Prime Minister Stephen Harper
allowed Penashue to make a $1.35 million spending announcement in his
riding mere days before he resigned his seat.
Coordinator of Democracy Watch, Tyler Sommers, accused the Ethics
Commissioner of ignoring clear ethics rules and instead using what he
calls 'a narrow and incorrect' enforcement approach to the matter.
Sommers accuses Dawson of being ineffective, so much so, he says the
media have revealed all of the ethics violations in federal politics in
the past five years.
