Der stellvertretende Minister hat gegen Regeln verstoßen, indem er einen unqualifizierten Bekannten eingestellt hat: Ethikwächter | CBC-Nachrichten

> While the commissioner can impose monetary penalties and issue compliance orders, the investigation did not recommend sanctions

Why not? I don’t understand why there are no penalties when politicians and “public servants” break the rules

Ford does this and it’s a big stink (and rightfully so).

The Liberals do it and man, it’s just water under the bridge. Have you seen the other guy?

Full report here. It’s kinda wild. Buddy worked at Goodlife Fitness and got hired ahead of other more qualified internal employees because of shady reasons.

>According to Ms. Perry, she told Ms. Baptiste that since Mr. Charles had no French language skills and no experience in government, he could only be offered an entry-level position. However, Ms. Baptiste had said that an entry-level position would not suffice as Ms. Fox expected the department to recognize Mr. Charles‘ client service experience and be given a salary equivalent to what he was earning from the private sector, which would be from a PM‑04 position.

>Ms. Fox testified that she did not instruct nor exert any pressure on Ms. Baptiste to appoint Mr. Charles to any specific level or position that would match what he earned as a manager at GoodLife. According to Ms. Fox, it was Ms. Baptiste who thought Mr. Charles would be a good fit for a PM‑04 position within the ATIP division.

>In an instant message exchange on March 30, 2023, staff in Ms. Baptiste’s office followed up with Ms. Perry asking if she would have the chance to touch base with Mr. Charles that day. Ms. Perry forwarded the message to François Jetté, Acting Director, ATIP Innovation and Support, stating that they had to meet with Mr. Charles, to which Mr. Jetté responded: “Holy geez, tell her to lay off with this guy already…“

We gotta snuff out all this fucking corruption wow

Fire her, ban from civil service or working with government directly for 10 years.

I think the guy was hired for a year. If he can do the job and learn French in a year, what is wrong with hiring him? Then, at the end of the year, review, continue, or fire.

>The report said that officials „felt pressured to hire him“ at „a management level for which departmental officials had advised he was not qualified.“

>The commissioner noted that Charles had no experience in government or with access to information and privacy (ATIP) requests.

>After an initial three-month term, Charles was given a non-advertised one year contract in August 2023, the report says.

>The report says that by June 2024, Charles had been told that his contract would not be extended due to his ongoing performance issues.

>It says he then contacted Fox seeking her help finding another job. She told him to send his resumé to her assistant.

>The report notes that Charles started a new job at the Privy Council Office in November 2024.

>In December 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Fox’s appointment to the top civilian role at the Department of National Defence as part of a shakeup in the senior ranks of the public service.

>**She had been serving as the deputy clerk of the Privy Council, where she announced assuming „a leadership role in facilitating our dialogue on values and ethics.“**

No wonder all of our institutions are bloated and declining in quality…

Just another day that ends in Y in Canada.
