There were two years left in Mario Dion’s seven-year term
The federal Ethics Commissioner is stepping down later this month due to persistent health issues, ending a five-year run in the post.

Story “Those in public office have a sacred duty to always act in the interest of the public they serve. I commend regulatees for taking their obligations under the conflict of interest regimes seriously and working with the Office to achieve and maintain compliance.”
