On March 9, 2017, the Senate Ethics Officer reported her findings in a preliminary review she carried out concerning a request from Senator Claude Carignan that she conduct an inquiry in order to determine whether Senator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu had complied with his obligations under the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators.
The allegations of non-compliance were based on matters that had been reported in the Report of the Auditor General of Canada to the Senate of Canada, Senators' Expenses, June 4, 2015, concerning Senator Boisvenu's Senate expenses. The preliminary determination letter, provided to Senator Boisvenu on March 9, 2017, pursuant to subsection 47(14) of the Code, which was thereafter tabled with the Clerk of the Senate, is available on the website of the Senate Ethics Officer by clicking here.
The Office has no further comments concerning this matter.
