Ann Chafe, Commissioner for Legislative Standards (Acting), has released the results of her review initiated at the request of MHA Barry Petten (Conception Bay South) regarding compliance of MHA Andrew Furey (Humber-Gros Morne).

The review pursuant to the House of Assembly Accountability, Integrity and Administration Act and the House of Assembly Act provides an opinion regarding conflict of interest and code of conduct obligations with respect to the Premier’s 2021 stay at a luxury-fishing lodge in Labrador.

Normally the Commissioner for Legislative Standards does not disclose the name of a member who makes a request for an opinion, however, as this matter has been the subject of a media announcement by Mr. Petten, it was deemed to be in the public interest to release the findings.
