The recently appointed interim ethics commissioner — who is also the sister-in-law of a cabinet minister — has stepped down from that position.
Martine Richard was appointed to the role in March for what was supposed to be a period of six months. The last commissioner, Mario Dion, retired in February.
But Richard has stepped away from the role she was appointed to only weeks ago, according to a press release from the ethics commissioner’s office released on Wednesday.
“Martine Richard has informed the Privy Council Office (PCO) that she will no longer be serving as interim commissioner,” the statement said.
Richard is the sister-in-law
