On June 30, 2017, the Senate Ethics Officer reported her findings in a preliminary review she carried out to determine whether Senator Nicole Eaton had complied with her obligations under the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators.

The preliminary determination letter, provided to Senator Nicole Eaton on June 30, 2017, pursuant to subsection 47(10) of the Code, which was thereafter deposited with the Clerk of the Senate, is available on the website of the Senate Ethics Officer by clicking here.
