Ethics watchdog's exoneration of Trudeau on We Charity file can be legally reviewed, top court says

The Supreme Court of Canada has overturned part of the Conflict of Interest Act ruling that decisions made by the commissioner on the conduct of public office holders can be reviewed by a court on questions of fact and law.

In May 2021, then-federal ethics commissioner Mario Dion found Trudeau, prime minister at the time, did not breach the Conflict of Interest Act in his WE Charity participation.

Watchdog group will be allowed to challenge a ruling that found Trudeau did not breach the Conflict of Interest Act when he participated in decisions concerning WE Charity
