Ethics and Transparency in Public Matters Act, 2001

This Private Members' Bill in Ontario would require open meetings and more stringent conflict rules for
provincial and municipal boards, commissions and other public bodies. The bill addresses the issue of Councils and boards going in camera at the drop of a hat in order to keep contentious debate out of the public eye or to avoid embarrassing someone. Ad IDEM appeared to make representations. The Bill is likely not destined for passage.
