Ottawa city councillors may soon need to disclose personal relationships with city staff to the city’s integrity commissioner. ottnews
A walk-on motion moved by Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and seconded by Coun. Cathy Curry called on the integrity commissioner to review and consider updates to the code of conduct for members of council to “address the issue of personal relationships between members of council and staff.”
“I thought it would be better to have it up front now than wait another few weeks and have her try to squeeze something in towards the end of the term,” he said. Speaking to reporters after the council meeting, outgoing Mayor Jim Watson said the motion is about ensuring councillors are held to a high standard.
