Summary
The Supreme Court of Canada just shattered a key shield around ethics commissioner decisions, ruling that courts can now review rulings on public officials — a major win for accountability. The case, sparked by Democracy Watch’s challenge to former commissioner Mario Dion’s decision on We Charity and a government contract, now sets a constitutional precedent: all delegated power is subject to judicial review. The court made it clear that no law can override the courts’ role as ultimate arbiters of legality, opening the door for future challenges and reinforcing that no one — not even ministers — is above scrutiny.
