On November 26, 2015, the Senate Ethics Officer reported her findings in a preliminary review she carried out concerning a request from Senator Jean-Guy Dagenais that she conduct an inquiry in order to determine whether Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette had complied with her obligations under the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators.
The allegations of non-compliance were based on an article published in the Journal de Montréal on June 28, 2015. The preliminary determination letter, provided to Senator Hervieux-Payette on November 26, 2015, 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.
The Office has no further comments concerning this matter.
