The Canadian Judicial Council has completed its review of the conduct of Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Justice Vic Toews and says it won't be investigating complaints against him further. The review was launched following a complaint received in relation to a report by the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. "The actions that were under scrutiny by the commissioner were not ones that raised issues for the Canadian Judicial Council," Norman Sabourin of the CJC said Thursday. National advocacy organization Democracy Watch filed a complaint against Toews with the Canadian Judicial Council after his alleged conflict interest was raised. They expressed disappointment Thursday that the council found Toews did nothing that would call into question his integrity.
