term of five years, the Integrity Commissioner has a mandate to provide advice on how the Members Integrity Act (the Act) affects members which includes conducting inquiries as to whether a member has contravened the Act or parliamentary convention. The Integrity Commissioner meets annually with each member to review their financial disclosure and obligations under the Act. In addition, the Integrity Commissioner provides advice and determinations to Ministers’ staff and senior public servants on matters related to the Conflict of Interest Rules and restrictions on political activity.

In addition, the role requires experience with providing strategic advice and making decisions on complex and sensitive issues impartially and authoritatively while balancing multiple competing interests.
Along with wisdom, sound judgment, high ethical standards, and the ability to inspire trust and confidence, this role works collaboratively and confidently with parliamentarians and senior management across the public sector, often in situations where various stakeholders bring different perspectives to bear on complex issues.
To manage this office, the successful candidate must have experience working in a demanding environment, well-developed organizational competencies in leadership, planning, financial management, and political acuity as well as knowledge related to employee relations legislation and practices.
