A complaint against Nunakput MLA Jackie Jacobson has been dismissed by the Legislative AssemblySA国际影视传媒檚 integrity commissioner.

David Philip Jones filed his decision on the complaint on Dec. 31. The Legislature announced the decision Jan. 6. The complaint was related to a meeting of the AssemblySA国际影视传媒檚 Board of Management on Aug. 24, in which Jacobson participated. The board alleged Jacobson had an undelcared conflict of interest in the meeting, which included discussions of complaints filed against Assembly Clerk Tim Mercer and a report on his workplace, as well as an unrelated complaint against Tu Nedh茅-Wiilideh MLA Steve Norn.

The day after the meeting, Jacobson swore an affidavit related to an incident between Minister Shane Thompson and Mercer that the board alleged was a sign that Jacobson had aligned himself with Norn.

In his decision, Jones said he accepted JacobsonSA国际影视传媒檚 accounting of events, whereby Jacobson was only asked to swear the affidavit after the Aug. 24 meeting.

Jones acknowledged that JacobsonSA国际影视传媒檚 signing of the affidavit had been an error of judgement. SA国际影视传媒淣evertheless, I am satisfied that Mr. JacobsonSA国际影视传媒檚 actions, regrettable as they were, were an error of judgment made in good faith,SA国际影视传媒� the report reads. SA国际影视传媒淭his is a sufficient basis to dismiss the complaint.SA国际影视传媒�

Normally Jones reports his findings directly to all MLAs but they arenSA国际影视传媒檛 sitting in the legislature until February, Speaker Frederick Blake Jr. made the announcement to media outlets. The report will be tabled in the House on the first day of the next sitting.
