Public Sector Integrity Commissioner
The office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner was one of the Independent Oversight Offices created as part of the Canadian Federal Accountability Act.[1] The purpose of this office is to investigate mismanagement in the public sector.[2] Christiane Ouimet became the first Public Sector Integrity Commissioner on August 6, 2007.[3]
The Commissioner's third report was released in October 2010, and, for the third year in a row, it revealed that her office found no wrongdoing in the federal public service. In addition, the Office of the Auditor General of Canada announced an audit of the Commissioner's office. Ms. Ouimet retired effective October 18, 2010.[4]
Mario Dion, a former federal parole board chair, was named as the second Public Sector Integrity Commissioner on December 14, 2010.[5]
