Developments and actions in relation to the committee’s fifth report from the 42nd Parliament regarding Senator Beyak / The Honourable Murray Sinclair, chair, The Honourable Dennis Patterson, deputy chair.: YC35-0/431-3E-PDF

"In April 2019, your committee considered the Inquiry Report of the Senate Ethics Officer concerning Senator Lynn Beyak. The Inquiry Report concluded that Senator Beyak breached sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators (the “Code”) by posting on her Senate website five letters that contained racist content against Indigenous peoples. Your committee underscored in its Fifth Report that Senator Beyak’s failure to comply with the remedial measures identified in its recommendations and any failure to comply with the intent of the Senate’s decision would constitute a continuing breach of the Code. On December 10, 2019, the Senate adopted a motion directing your committee to conduct a study on developments and actions in relation to the committee’s Fifth Report. That motion allowed the committee to present multiple reports, with its final report due June 30, 2020"--Introduction, page 2.
