 Martine Richard, who has worked in the commissioner’s office as a lawyer since 2013, took over the top job last month for a six-month stint.


Richard is the sister-in-law of Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who was found to have breached conflict-of-interest rules in 2018 for approving a lucrative fishing licence for a family member while he was fisheries minister.

"Trudeau also confirmed on Wednesday that he was not aware of the reportedly large donation the Green family made to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation in 2021, a scholarship named after Peter Green’s late wife, Mary-Jean Mitchell Green, who died of breast cancer in the 1990s.


“As I have said, I have had no engagement direct or indirect with the Trudeau foundation in close to 10 years. So that includes not knowing about what donations they are taking, what decisions they’re making or what my brother is doing on the foundation,” he said."

The Last Canada Wide Public Employee Shutdown

 "...No one was hurt in the fracas, but there were more displays of anger in the days that followed. Strikers snarled traffic in downtown Ottawa and Hull, closed the Portage Bridge for 90 minutes and disrupted transit services by picketing Transitway stations.

Back to work legislation was passed late on Oct. 1, 1991, effectively ending the strike and suspending the collective bargaining process. The Treasury Board held firm on its proposal to freeze public servants’ wages in 1991 and kept the 1992 increase to three per cent.

Many striking workers returned on Oct. 3 having gained little and feeling bitter towards both the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the government.
