Public Safety Minister’s link to civil liberties group doesn’t require ethics screen, watchdog says

September 10, 2025

Canada’s ethics watchdog has determined there is no need for a conflict-of-interest “screen” for interactions between the Public Safety Minister, who is responsible for guiding a border bill through Parliament, and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, where his wife is a director.

The Ethics Commissioner also concluded that a screen is not required under federal law for the minister, Gary Anandasangaree – who was born in Sri Lanka and has previously advocated for Tamil refugees – on national-security issues relating to the Tamil community.
