As the Members’ Integrity Act is now written, integrity commissioner J. David Wake has said the gift rule “applies only to the member who receives the gift.

“Our aim is for the Arctic Council to resume its important work,” Fredriksen told the Arctic Frontiers Abroad conference in Ottawa. The Arctic Council was created in 1996 to enable the cooperation of the circumpolar states on sustainable development and environmental protection.

OTTAWA - Canada has set the stage with Moldova to start sanctioning people and companies based in that Eastern European country who are helping Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Moldova has been trying to join the European Union for years, and the former Soviet country has helped shelter people fleeing violence in neighbouring Ukraine. Ottawa also aims to send Canadian judges to Moldova to help the country strengthen the integrity of its judicial system.

Months after two passenger planes flew into the World Trade Center and another crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11, Huda Mukbil joined Canada’s spy agency as an intelligence officer. Months after a white supremacist gunned down six Quebecers praying in a Quebec City mosque in 2017, Mukbil turned whistleblower. Those 15 intervening years are captured in a recently released book that tells the story of how Canada’s first Black Arab-Canadian Muslim spy was treated at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. He engaged Internal Security, the branch that investigates security breaches and conflicts of interest to determine employee loyalty. When Mukbil and four colleagues told CSIS they were preparing to launch a legal challenge in 2017, the agency conducted a “Workplace Climate Assessment” in the Toronto Region.
