Inquiry Report
As required under the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons
Statutory requirement(s):
Under section 27 of the Code, a request for an inquiry may be made by a Member of the House of Commons who has reasonable grounds to believe that another Member has not complied with his or her obligations under the Code. The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner is required to forward the request to the Member who is the subject of the request and to afford the Member 30 days to respond. Once the Member has completed his or her response, the Commissioner has 15 working days to conduct a preliminary review of the request and the response and to notify both Members in writing of the Commissioner’s decision as to whether an inquiry is warranted. Inquiries must be conducted in private.
Following the completion of an inquiry, a report is to be provided to the Speaker of the House of Commons who tables it in the House of Commons when it next sits. The report is made available to the public once it is tabled or, if the House is not then sitting, upon its receipt by the Speaker.

This report presents the findings of my inquiry under the Conflict of Interest Code for Members of the House of Commons (Code) into the conduct of Mr. James ?Maloney, Member of Parliament for Etobicoke–Lakeshore.
I sought to determine whether Mr. Maloney contravened subsection 20(1) of the Code. Under subsection 20(1), Members must fully disclose their private interests and those of their family members to the Commissioner as the first step in their initial compliance process after they are elected. Paragraph 20(1)(i) requires them to do so within 60 days after notice of their election to the House of Commons is published in the Canada Gazette.
