Canadian senator breached ethics code with ‘Freedom Convoy’ rant: watchdog
The report quotes MacDonald as rejecting that measure, writing that “there was nothing significant about ‘ conduct,'” as he did not break any laws, act aggressively or misuse Senate resources. “This is definitely not an ethical issue,” MacDonald is quoted as having written.
The senator was particularly upset at the watchdog asking whom he had dined with before he made his comments. Legault said that information may have been relevant to determining who had witnessed the exchange with the person who filmed the remarks, and whether the senator was conducting parliamentary duties at the time.
He said MacDonald should have shown “true remorse” for his comments by telling his peers they could issue a censure.
