Beyak posted letters to her website that were condemned as racist
OTTAWA — Sen. Lynn Beyak should be suspended again without pay, the Senate’s ethics committee recommended Friday.
She had removed the letters the ethics committee found most objectionable from her website, taken a briefing on the role of a senator, completed education programs on Indigenous history and delivered an apology, she said. The committee agreed that the letters had been taken down and that Beyak had been briefed on her duties as a senator. But it wasn’t satisfied that she had taken her education on Indigenous history seriously.
