OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has run afoul of federal ethics rules yet again — this time missing the deadline for filing a financial disclosure statement with the ethics commissioner. Every MP is required to file a disclosure statement within 60 days of his or her election being published in the Canada Gazette; in Trudeau’s case, the deadline was Jan. 13. The Prime Minister’s Office says the failure to file was an administrative oversight that is being corrected. The compliance status report, available on the ethics commissioner’s website, is to be updated again Wednesday. Others who had not filed their disclosure statements as of Feb. 5 included Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet, Liberal MPs Wayne Easter and Hedy Fry, and Conservative MPs John Barlow and Arnold Viersen.
