ETHICS COMMITTEE URGES CENSURE OF TORY SENATOR

OTTAWA The Senate’s ethics committee is recommending a Conservative senator be censured for breaching the upper house’s ethics code when he accepted an all-expenses paid trip to China in 2017.

The committee’s recommendation follows a February report by the Senate ethics officer, who found Sen. Victor Oh, pictured, blurred the line between private and public affairs during the trip.

Pierre Legault ruled that Oh breached the code four times and then withheld information and deliberately misled the investigation into the trip, raising questions about his integrity.
