“The review was initiated as a result of media reports raising allegations of potential conflicts of interest in the handling of a prosecution by the City’s Prosecution Unit,” White said.
White said the review is expected to be completed before the end of the month and its results will be forwarded to the City Clerk and Solicitor and possibly to the Ministry of the Attorney General.
White was clear that the City of Ottawa has no oversight responsibility whatsoever to the members of the Ottawa Police Service.
Chief Charles Bordeleau told the Citizen that he was aware that Lynda would be accompanying her father to court and that he did not “intervene or discuss this file with anyone at the Ottawa Police Service.” He did, however, admit that he “did ask a court staff member on the morning of Jan. 25 the name of the prosecutor to provide Lynda with a point of contact.” Bordeleau said, though, that his wife had already made contact.
Police board chair Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said he would await the city’s review before deciding whether to look into Chief Bordeleau’s conduct.
“As the Ottawa Police Services Board has no involvement in the prosecution of offences under the Provincial Offences Act, the results of the review will not be provided to the Police Services Board,” White said.
“Our own officers have been investigated for similar conduct in the past,” he said, referencing instances of officers charged and convicted of using police access for personal reasons.
“We will be requesting that the (police services board) conduct an investigation into the matter,” Skof said.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (7) drives against New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (00) during the first quarter of an NBA basketball game Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018, in Boston.
BOSTON — Kyrie Irving scored 22 points before leaving the game in the final minutes nursing his right shoulder, Al Horford had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Boston Celtics coasted past the New York Knicks, 128-100, on Thursday night (Friday Manila time).
Jaylen Brown returned after missing three games with a bruised lower back and scored a season-high 21 points. Jayson Tatum added 17 for Boston, which won its fourth straight game and exacted a bit of revenge for a November 21 loss to the Knicks.
With about four minutes left in the game, Irving started rubbing his right shoulder and swinging it around while grimacing in pain. He raised his hand for coach Brad Stevens to take him out of the game but couldn't get his attention. He walked to the bench at the next whistle.
The Celtics, who went to the Eastern Conference finals last year, were expected to be one of the league's top teams after getting Irving and Gordon Hayward back from injuries. But the November 21 loss in Boston to the Knicks was an early sign that something was wrong.
New York snapped a six-game losing streak and sent Boston to its third loss in a row. Stevens wondered aloud whether his team was "that good."
NEW DELHI — India's government promised hundreds of billions of dollars to develop poor rural areas and help struggling farmers in its annual budget Thursday, looking to win over voters ahead of the next general election.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the government would spend $220 billion on rural infrastructure, including building new roads and toilets and bringing electricity to millions of rural households.
Jaitley also announced a national healthcare scheme that will enable half a billion poor Indians to access up to 500,000 rupees ($7,855) a year for treatment, a key step in a country where many people have little access to affordable medical care.
But small businesses and the rural economy were the main focus of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government's last full-year budget before national elections due by May 2019. "While making the proposals in this year's budget, we have been guided by our mission to especially strengthen agriculture, rural development, health, education, employment, MSME (micro, small and medium-sized enterprises) and infrastructure sectors of the Indian economy," Jaitley told parliament as he summed up the budget. "I am sure the new India which we aspire to create now will emerge."
The majority of India's 1.25 billion population lives in the countryside, and winning rural voters is key to election victory in the world's largest democracy.
The government promised in the previous budget to double farmer incomes in the next five years and bring 10 million households out of poverty by 2019.
But many still live and work in near penury at the mercy of loan sharks and a harsh climate, and rural disaffection has stoked protests and a rise in farmer suicides in recent years. Access to water is particularly problematic in India, where less than half of all agricultural land is irrigated.
"The budget was expected to be pro-farmer as agrarian distress was rising and there has been a widespread outcry over the crop slowdown from the farming community across India," said Sujan Hajra, chief economist at Anand Rathi Securities.
"The government's increased spending will augur well for the rural economy and boost growth and employment, which is crucial in changing public sentiment."
Jaitley also cut corporate tax on small and medium-sized businesses, a move he said would enable them to reinvest more of their profits and create much-needed jobs.
And he said the government would help some states subsidize machinery for farmers to destroy crop stubble to deter burning after the harvest. The burn-off in the northern farming states of Haryana and Punjab last year caused pollution across the region to spike at levels considered hazardous to health for weeks on end.
Announcing the healthcare scheme, Jaitley said India would be unable to realize the demographic dividend of its burgeoning youth population without healthy citizens.
"This will be the world's largest government-funded healthcare program," he said.
India lacks sufficient doctors for its huge population, and state-run hospitals are stretched to breaking point. On education, Jaitley said India had succeeded in getting more children into schools, but that the quality of teaching needed to improve. "Technology will be the biggest driver in improving the quality of education," he said.
Analysts said the budget shortfall of 3.5 percent in the fiscal year 2017/8 was in line with expectations. Next year's target has been set lower, at 3.3 percent.
India's economic growth slumped to 5.7 percent in the first quarter of the current financial year — the lowest in three years — but has since bounced back.
The government estimates the economy will grow by 7.2-7.5 percent in the second half of the current fiscal year and has said the country is on track to achieve growth of eight percent "soon".

REVEALED: Can YOU guess who has been named the greatest storyteller?
Jordan Peele is reviving Rod Serling's iconic series The Twilight Zone, in more ways than one.
We already knew Peele was the creative force behind the scenes, bringing this sci-fi saga to life, but the first peek at CBS All Access' Twilight Zone revival reveals he's also stepping into Serling's shoes as the show's host and narrator.
"Rod Serling was an uncompromising visionary who not only shed light on social issues of his time, but prophesied issues of ours," Peele said in a statement, according to TV Line. "I'm honored to carry on his legacy to a new generation of audiences as the gatekeeper of The Twilight Zone."
I love how they mixed Serling's original intro with Peele's new version. He sounds fantastic.
Given how Twilight Zone's creator became a cultural icon by being the face and voice in front of the screen, there were hopes that Peele would continue this legacy by being the face and voice of this latest revival. The previous revival from 2002 was hosted by Forest Whittaker — and while he's a great actor, it didn't feel the same without that connection to the person behind the amazing stories.
Peele previously expressed concerns about hosting the show himself, given his comedic background, not wanting to distract audiences from taking the show as seriously as it deserves. We begged to differ, and now I feel like that child who no longer has to send naysayers to the corn maze. I've gotten exactly what I wanted.
Cindy Ann Walters, age 53, of Polk Townshp, Kunkletown, formerly of Easton, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Oct. 25.
Cindy was the loving and devoted wife of Evan W. Walters III. They celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary on July 26.
She was born in Easton on June 19, 1957, and was the daughter of the late Robert Alden and Doris Mae (Foster) Stroble.
Cindy was a graduate of Easton Area High School in Easton.
Cindy had worked at Pleasant Valley High School in Brodheadsville for six years.
Cindy always put everyone's needs above her own. She was known to everyone as "Mama Walters" and certainly was one of a kind.
Cindy's love of life and natural gift of caring for everyone led her to be a foster mother for many years to over 36 children and young adults.
Before she had her family, she was a dance instructor at Nardi's Dance Studio in Easton. Throughout her years she was an active member of the Easton Area High School Band Boosters, a Girl Scout leader, and a proud coach of the Pleasant Valley High School cheerleaders.
We give thanks for the precious time we shared with "Mama Walters" and she will be deeply missed by her loving husband Evan; her four loving children, who meant the world to her, Evan W. Walters IV and his wife, Krystle, of Emmaus, Amy Martin and her husband, Kris, of Effort, Matthew Scott Walters and his wife, Patricia, of Kunkletown and Andrea Walters and her husband, Derrick Hiestand, of Philadelphia. Cindy was also a loving and gentle Nanny to her four grandchildren, Kirsten Walters, Justine Walters, Matthew Scott Walters II and Evan W. Walters V.
Cindy is also survived by two sisters, Nancy Halley and her husband, Ralph, of Easton and Elaine Haney of Easton; and a brother, Robert Stroble and his wife, Sheri, of Easton; as well as many other family and friends, whose lives she touched. She always highlighted the importance of laughter, dancing (she did the best running man), and spending time with her family and friends, and often spoke of the joy she received from those special moments together.
Viewing will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, at the Donald N. Gower Funeral Home, Route 209, Gilbert. Graveside services and sharing of remembrances will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 29, at the Northampton Memorial Shrine, 3051 Green Pond Road, Easton, with the Rev. Wes Wales officiating. She will be interred next to her parents at Northampton Memorial Shrine, Easton.
Memorial donations may be made In Loving Memory of Cindy Ann Walters to American Cancer Society (Monroe Unit), RR#13, Box 2138, Stroudsburg, PA 18360.
The Lib Dems and Labour couldn't be behaving more differently in Oldham East and Saddleworth, which remains on track to be the coalition's first by-election test.
Phil Woolas, who is as disgraced an MP as he is a former one, is clinging on to the hope he might be able to overturn the election court's ruling kicking him out of the Commons. While he does so the local Labour party are keeping their heads down, hoping against hope that the government's unpopularity will hit the Lib Dems.
Their hopeful, Elwyn Watkins, is taking a different view. He's been bombarding his voters with leaflets, repeating the drown-them-under-an-avalanche-of-literature tactic which fell just 104 votes short of beating Woolas on May 6th.
These are the first Lib Dem election leaflets to defend the party in government – and they make for some interesting reading.
"After 13 years of Labour let-downs, the Liberal Democrats in government are delivering a fair deal for local people," one notes.
It says the link between pensions and earnings has been restored and points out an extra £2 billion has already been fixed on social care.
Another lists "just a few of the positive changes being introduced by the Lib Dems in government". These include "more money for schools", "action to get Britain working again" and "no tax on the first £10,000 you earn". There's not much of a mention of the VAT hike, or tuition fees, either. Instead the approach is a very general one.
The bulk of the leaflets try to ignore the national picture, however, instead focusing on what the Lib Dems are achieving on Oldham borough council. Local issues like better street lighting, tackling antisocial behaviour and even "a new leisure suite at Saddleworth pool" are trumpeted. "I depend on the same shops, hospitals and everyday necessities as everyone else here," Watkins writes. "I know how much this part of the world to offer [sic] – with the right support."
Watkins will become the Lib Dems' 58th MP if he wins the by-election, giving himself the chance of entering the Commons after most would have given up and walked away. His decision to take Woolas to court, for the first time in a century, has shaken up the electioneering rulebook. But Watkins doesn't mind – in fact he's making the most of the victory.
"Labour's shamed MP Woolas has let our area down," one headline proclaims. "Labour MP Phil Woolas lies to local people to get re-elected," says another. "Labour's Woolas brings shame on our area." You get the idea.
Interestingly, there are no claims that Watkins is an absolute paragon of virtue in response. Instead he contrasts himself with Woolas by pointing out he has "a record of fighting hard for local people". He's a "no-nonsense northerner who'll stand up for all of us". Equally, the leaflets' overall tone is one of generalised frustration against Labour – exactly the right approach, given we don't know who Watkins' opponent will be yet. "ANGER," one extra-orange leaflet blares out in massive letters – even if it adds, in smaller print underneath, "... as Labour's mess leaves Greater Manchester police facing cutbacks".
The biggest purpose of the leaflets, common to all of them, is the Lib Dems' infamous bar chart. This is always deployed when the party needs to demonstrate it is the only alternative to the incumbent. "Just 103 votes in it!" it says, above a bar chart showing the top two parties in the seat at the general election. Labour got 14,186 votes. The Lib Dems got 14,083. The logic is clear: if you want to oust Labour, you've only got one option.
In fact that's not quite accurate. In 2005 the Conservatives were a long way behind, taking 18.2% of the vote compared to 33.2% for the Lib Dem candidate and 41.4% for Woolas. In 2010 the incumbent stood on 31.9%, with Watkins on 31.6%. The Conservative candidate, Kashif Ali, took 26.4%.
The conclusion is clear: Oldham East and Saddleworth is a three-way marginal. And, as Watkins' uncompromising rhetoric shows, it's going to be a close fight. His early leaflets suggest he is aware of the danger voters' residual anger from a tough-fought campaign earlier this year poses now. The emphasis on fighting the Labour party generally – and ignoring the Conservative threat completely – is unlikely to shift even when the official campaign gets underway.

When Yair Engel was in the 11th grade, his class traveled to Poland and participated in the March of the Living. Before their scheduled visit to Auschwitz, Engel composed a poem called “Six Million Brothers” that was read at the camp’s central commemoration ceremony.
Engel was a third-generation kibbutznik, born and raised at Ramat Rahel. A gifted poet and lover of nature, he was also a highly promising basketball player. At 18, he volunteered for the naval commandos; after only 16 months in the military, in 1996, he was killed in an underwater training accident.
Iraqi insurgent group, Jaish Abu Bakr al Salafi, released an undated video today depicting an IED attack that targeted two spies in Baghdad. The IED was blown off while the two men walked on the side of the road on foot. The voice of the cameraman was heard saying "O' Allah destroy the spies."
Wales' youngsters grew up in front of boss John Toshack's eyes to beat Azerbaijan 1-0 and claim their first away win in this World Cup Group Four qualifier.
Toshack had been shorn of 10 senior players for this long trip to the shores of the Caspian sea and he must have had doubts in the back of his mind that this bunch of raw youngsters could handle an occasion like this.
However, Wolves midfielder David Edwards scored what proved to be the eventual winner in the first half and from then on he and his team-mates battled for every inch to produce a victory.
Azerbaijan may not be a major power but they are hard, physical and experienced, and the Wales boys brigade stood up to the task.
Azerbaijan had plenty of the ball and were being roared on by a partisan crowd but at least Wales were being helped by the fact that the 90 degree temperatures they had experienced all week had been replaced by a cloudy windy night.
Simon Church was presented with a good opening when he latched onto a bad square pass from Vladimir Levin and set off towards goal only to be stopped by a desperate saving tackle from Rashad Sadigov.
Robert Earnshaw was involved with brave running and a cross from the right when Wales took the lead three minutes from the break. Veliyev crunched the ball out, with it hitting Church and rebounding for Edwards to fire home.
Azerbaijan brought on Branimir Subasic for Ramin at the break and then Javid Huseynov for Nabiyev soon after the restart and the hosts were putting Wales under constant aerial pressure. Wayne Hennessey made a good save at his post to keep out a Subasic effort.
The pressure continued, and Hennessey saved well again after 76 minutes pushing Huseynov's header wide.
Hennessey was booked for time wasting but Wales were hanging on and they full deserved their victory after a performance that gives Toshack plenty to work with in the future.
Nigeria braced for more strikes on Monday after last-minute talks failed to resolve a dispute over fuel prices, though the country's unions sought to call off street protests due to security concerns.
