   Indeed an honourable and likely very expensive action that Mr. Morgan took. It is no small thing to willingly give up a full and probably very substantial salary on such short notice. Who says there isn’t sacrifice in the public service.

     Hey, Robert K., the guy who quit was a lobbyist, not a public servant. And a Tory, at that. The person who stayed is the CoS.

     And it wasn’t a factor before because he lobbied DND, not Justice.

   I don’t get it; the timing is curious.

   She’s been Nicholson’s CoS for a long time, and she even had a screen when they were in Justice so it’s not like it’s new that his job is putting her in conflict. Why is he resigning now? The shuffle was almost a week ago. Did this just hit the media or something today? How was this not a factor in the shuffle calculus?

     Her new job does add a new conflict — he has defence clients, she’s now CoS to the Minister of Defence.

     Apparently the Ethics Commissioner was willing to help them set up a structure that would let them keep their jobs (an “ethical wall”); they decided it was too complicated, so he quit.
