On February 12, 2026, the Office of the Integrity Commissioner updated its Complaint and Application Procedures. Under the Toronto Municipal Code, the Integrity Commissioner is responsible for setting a process for complaints about possible breaches of the Code of Conduct and Municipal Conflict of Interest Act applications. The 2026 updates add a new process for petition-style complaints and set time limits for filing complaints, while allowing the Commissioner to extend those limits when fairness requires.
