So, nothing will happen to enforce the disclosure of these documents. Just a mild scolding.
Here's the problem: Our intra-parliamentary enforcement system of reprimands, censures and token fines was always dependent on the fact that the participants were all grown adults with gentlemanly tendencies who would honour the system just because it was proper. The whistle would be blown on them via a reprimand or a censuring, and they'd say "Very well, I yield". The fines were token quantities because the real penalty was the public humiliation of being caught doing something untoward.
But now we have children in those positions. Children who've figured out that they can just ignore the whistle when blown, like a spoiled brat who's figured out that mom is never actually going to spank him, so he might as well just ignore the scolding and do whatever he wants from now on. That's where we're at right now. It was only a matter of time before that "gentleman's agreement" style of enforcement would be taken advantage of by people of low character who managed to sliter into office.
Because of Justin Trudeau and the imbeciles who put him in office, we now need a substantive punishment system for lawmaker infractions. I.E. we have to actually deliver the spanking because we're not governed by adults anymore, we're governed by children. That's a bad look. A government is much more respectable when merely getting caught and exposed was enough enforcement for lawmakers who step over the line. Like the next government is actually going to have to implement 3rd-world style anti-corruption enforcement measures, because of the Trudeau Liberals. Think about that.

Good joke. As if the next government (even if it's a Conservative one) would ever do that. While the guy who runs currently the public health agency was promoted to this position by Trudeau, he made his way up the ladder under Harper. Before Harper made him a public servant he was just some senior assistant at Dalhousie.
Harper did. He put in place both the current arm's length DPP, and the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner as a direct result of past Liberal scandals.

That's what happens when you take the teeth off of the auditory wing and much of the media is bought and paid for.
Because Christian values like telling the truth are no longer the norm in society.
If the CPC take power next election, I hope this man is fired immediately.
We need to put fear into the bureaucrats that they answer to parliament, not the PMO.
He made career under Harper.
I don't see what that has to do with anything.
The CPC won't fire him.

Doesn't matter what party originally hired him. He committed a fireable offence, and should be dealt with accordingly.

And they are toothless. They even cleared Trudeau on the WE stuff.
