Jay Hill disputes Conflict of Interest ruling
Ethics commissioner says former Prince George-Peace River Conservative MP Jay Hill used his former position to assist his spouse and her employer regarding a forthcoming energy deal. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
As you can read on the CBC News site, the federal ethics watchdog has determined former cabinet minister and Prince George-Peace River MP Jay Hill breached the Conflict of Interest Act when he contacted his ex-colleagues about a forthcoming multinational energy deal. Jay Hill has responded to CBC with this statement:
Statement by Jay HillYou can read more on this story at cbc.ca/news.In late May, 2011, I learned of a pending joint venture agreement between a Canadian natural gas company and a foreign, state-owned energy company. This transaction represented approximately $1B in natural gas reserves located in my former constituency in northern BC and was to be announced to the public within days.Based on my 17 years as a Member of Parliament, the majority of which I served as party Whip or House Leader, I made the decision to contact three of my former colleagues to give them a heads-up of the pending announcement. This is a common practice in government, as Ministers and senior staff are often given advance notice of pending deals or business negotiations.At the time I placed calls to the federal Ministers, my wife was employed by a public and government relations firm engaged by the Canadian company participating in the joint venture. That said, at no time did I or my spouse receive any credit, benefit or financial remuneration, personally or professionally, for making these calls.In politics, perception is reality, and in this case, the federal Conflict of Interest & Ethics Commissioner, Mary Dawson and her colleagues have determined I was in contravention of the Act by taking "improper advantage of my previous public office."I strongly dispute this conclusion, and the process and methods she undertook to arrive at her decision.In conclusion, I would like to apologize to the Prime Minister and my former colleagues for any inconvenience this situation may have caused.
