Officials tailored hiring criteria for MacKay aides, Public Service Commission finds
In total, three of MacKay’s aides were given civil service jobs linked to the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency after MacKay lost responsibility for it in 2008.
Two of them had their appointments revoked by the Public Service Commission after investigations found ACOA managers twisted hiring rules. The third appointment was never investigated.
Political staffer Shawn Masterson also had his appointment revoked. He is not fighting the decision and has left ACOA.
Investigators did not find evidence of political interference from MacKay’s office, but several high-ranking ACOA executives, including president Paul Leblanc, have been punished.
