Who carries this bill
Arrows run from the person responsible to those who answer to them on this bill. The critic leads the Senate’s scrutiny and answers to no one on it.
What it set out to do
On 7 May 2009, the Minister of State (Democratic Reform) introduced Bill C-30, An Act to amend the Parliament of Canada Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts (Senate Ethics Act), in the House of Commons and it was given first reading. Bill C-30 amends the Parliament of Canada Act to eliminate the office of the Senate Ethics Officer and give a single, independent Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner a mandate to apply a common approach to ethics for senators, members of the House of Commons and public office holders. The bill also includes transitional provisions respecting the reappointment of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, as well as the transfer of appropriations and personnel from the office of the Senate Ethics Officer to the office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.
