Third-party investigator hired by the college found a former board member did not fail to disclose a conflict of interest for participating in a class-action lawsuit against Shoppers Drug Mart
People walk past the Shoppers Drug Mart location at corner of King St. East and Yonge St. in downtown Toronto, on Feb 6.The Ontario College of Pharmacist s has cleared a board member in a conflict-of-interest investigation that had threatened to derail the regulator’s promises to tackle unethical corporate practices.
The college, which oversees the pharmacist profession in Ontario, has a board that is made up of pharmacists elected by other pharmacists in the province, members of the public appointed by the provincial government, and representatives of three pharmacy schools. That investigator found there was no conflict of interest on the March vote, though there could be an appearance of a conflict going forward, according to a report of the governance committee tabled at the college’s board meeting on Friday. However, the investigator found there were no grounds to take action against Mr. Sivapalan, a finding that the governance committee agreed with.
