65 Statistics Canada Employees Disciplined for Misconduct, 2025 Report Reveals
What Happened?
In Statistics Canada’s first-ever Report on Misconduct and Wrongdoing, the agency revealed that it fired 15 employees and disciplined 50 others in its 2024-25 fiscal year.
The misconduct includes harassment, security violations, as well as the theft of government computers and cellphones.
“At Statistics Canada, we are committed to fostering a culture of trust, where individuals are supported and expected to make ethical, well-informed decisions that inspire public confidence,” chief statistician André Loranger said in the report’s introduction.
“The goal through this report is to provide transparency, reinforce accountability, and support our culture of ethical behaviour at Statistics Canada.”
In 2024, Ottawa ordered federal departments and agencies to begin creating annual reports on misconduct and wrongdoing.
