Canadians Demanding The Resignation Of Senator Pamela Wallin
Facebook group : Canadians Demanding The Resignation Of Senator Pamela Wallin
“Pamela Wallin is doing double duty as an oil sands executive and as a conservative senator. She helped kill climate change legislation that had been passed by the democratically-elected members of Parliament.” – Charlie Angus NDP, Timmins-James Bay
“Pamela Wallin — oilsands exec/ senator described the climate change bill which had been passed by the democratically elected members of Parliament as a “nuisance”. Nuisance for whom? Calgary oil sands execs? Senators who don’t like having to show up for work? Climate change legislation wasn’t a nuisance for Canadians looking for accountability and targets dealing with green house gas emissions.” – Charlie Angus NDP, Timmins-James Bay
Conflicts of interest plague Senate: MP
Senators need to crack down on themselves and to impose tougher conflict of interest rules, New Democrat MP Charlie Angus said Tuesday, as he pointed to a Conservative senator who had voted down climate change legislation while sitting on the board of an oilsands company.
After a series of high-profile criminal investigations -the ongoing RCMP probe into allegations Liberal Sen. Mac Harb used his office to lobby for the oil and gas company Niko Resources and the unrelated recent conviction of former Liberal Sen. Raymond Lavigne for fraud -Angus said not enough is being done to ensure senators are working toward the public good and not to benefit themselves.
“These guys believe that conflictof-interest guidelines belong to other people and not to them,” Angus said in an interview.
Another Conflict of Interest (from guelphmercury.com)
Pamela Wallin sees no conflict between her roles as a Conservative senator and the chancellor of the University of Guelph, and is puzzled others might.
She intends to continue her hectic pace serving in both capacities, and said her breadth of experience in the real world “is exactly what you want” in a university chancellor. She said she “loves the job of chancellor.”
“Running a university these days is very tough,” Wallin said, in an interview Thursday, prior to assuming the chancellor’s chair for the Ontario Agricultural College convocation. “It’s about raising money and keeping the doors open so that you can educate the students in the very special way that they get educated.”
