The Alan Jeffrey Affair

Author: Kenneth Karnaghan
Publication Date: 1977, 2004

This revised version of the Alan Jeffrey Affair deals with the issues of conflict of interest, ministerial responsibility and administrative secrecy. While the case focuses on a conflict of interest situation in the federal public service, it also provides a basis for assessing the roles of ministers, opposition members, journalists and public servants in managing ethical behaviour in government and for evaluating the utility of written rules for promoting ethical conduct. Several suggested readings provide excellent background reading for understanding the issues raised in the case.

Un cas portant sur un conflit d'intérêt dans la fonction publique fédérale. Il fournit les fondements d'une discussion et d'une analyse de la conduite déontologique des employés du gouvernement. Il fournit également l'occasion d'étudier certaines conventions entourant les relations entre les fonctionnaires et les hommes politiques, la doctrine de la responsabilité ministérielle et la pratique de la discrétion administrative.
