The former Ontario Liberal cabinet minister who has been nominated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to serve as the next Commissioner of Official Languages says she met with senior Trudeau advisers to discuss appointment options in the months after she resigned as an MPP.
The Conservatives and the New Democrats oppose the selection of Madeleine Meilleur as language commissioner, one of the eight Officers of Parliament who are expected to operate independently of the government. They say she is a partisan and that they were not consulted before her nomination, as is required by law.
