Konrad Winrich von Finckenstein is the second conflict and ethics commissioner named since Mario Dion stepped down in February
A former chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has been named as interim federal ethics commissioner.
Martine Richard, named as interim commissioner, stepped down amid questions about the propriety of her holding the post given she is the sister in law of federal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc. His new job is to provide independent direction and advice to MPs and public office holders on conflict-of-interest-related matters.
In the absence of a commissioner, Mr. Dion, who served as ethics commissioner from 2018 until this year, has said the vacancy in the office has put investigations on hold.
