On April 12, 2018, the Senate Ethics Officer resumed his inquiry under the Conflict of Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators concerning former Senator Don Meredith, regarding allegations raised in a workplace assessment report that was commissioned by the Steering Committee of the Standing Senate Committee on Internal Economy, Budgets and Administration.
On December 1, 2017, the Senate Ethics Officer had suspended his inquiry at the request of another authority due to the fact that that authority was conducting its own investigation. This same authority has now advised the Senate Ethics Officer that it has closed its own investigation and, therefore, this inquiry is now resumed pursuant to subsection 52(3) of the Code.
The Senate Ethics Officer has no further comments about this matter at this time.
