Bruce Chaulk has been suspended from his role as Chief Electoral Officer and Commissioner for Legislative Standards.

The provincial government accepted the recommendation of the House of Assembly Management Commission in suspending Chaulk.

The suspension will be in effect until an independent review of the findings of the Citizens’ Representative is completed.

Travis Wooley, who was previously in the position of Assistant Chief Electoral Officer, will serve as the acting Chief Electoral Officer. Ann Chafe, who recently retired from her role as commissioner of the Public Service Commission, will serve as the acting Commissioner for Legislative Standards.
