The city is a step closer to establishing an ethics watchdog.
The mayor's Executive Policy Committee approved a recommendation to create an integrity commissioner.
The independent office will report on conflict of interest issues.
But the new commissioner might not have proper investigative authority or the ability to administer punishment. Those measures require changes in the law at the provincial level.
The new position is a two-year term, appointed by council at a cost of $100,000 annually.
