Co-chair Suzanne Craig is the integrity commissioner for the City of Vaughan in Ontario, while fellow co-chair Mary McFadyen served as ombudsman and public interest disclosure commissioner for Saskatchewan. The Treasury Board Secretariat says many of the task force members, who also include academics and union representatives, were chosen through consultations with experts in the field and bring diverse expertise to the role.
