Heather Zordel, chair of the Condominium Authority of Ontario, and Margaret Samuel, who has been on the board since 2019, had their appointments revoked just a week before the authority’s scheduled annual general meeting
The Ontario government has removed the chair and treasurer from the board of the province’s condo regulator, the latest sign of long-standing turmoil in the agency.
The CAO was created in 2017 by the previous Liberal government to offer training and dispute resolution options for the province’s more than 11,000 condo corporations, and is one of Ontario’s many delegated authorities mandated to oversee regulated industries. Ms. Zordel was appointed as chair shortly after PremierOntario’s Public Appointments Secretariat’s website was updated Monday morning to indicate that Bakir Alazawi and Sameer Malik were appointed to the board on Sept.
In a phone interview, Ms. Zordel said she heard she was being removed from the board last week but said she hadn’t received any communication from the government about why. “Obviously we always look at potential issues, and so it was addressed,” said Ms. Zordel of the potential conflict. When asked whether the business relationship was disclosed to an ethics executive at the CAO or Ontario’s public service, as is protocol, Ms. Zordel ended the interview.CAO spokesperson Aleks Dhefto acknowledged the potential conflict issue in an interview.
