Prime Minister Stephen Harper is preparing to dump the ethics commissioner and is actively recruiting replacement candidates, CTV News has learned.
Former NDP Leader Ed Broadbent was among the government’s top choices.
“The issue has been discussed with me,” Broadbent told CTV. But with his wife fighting cancer, Broadbent turned down the job.
“Although I think it’s a terrific job and an important job, it is certainly not one for me at this point in my life,” he said.
