Murray resigns as watchdog chief of GST pricing post
Nickolas Murray quits as president of the Consumers' Association of Canada amid criticism he held a conflict of interest by serving as the government's GST pricing watchdog. The board met by conference call to accept the resignation, which aims to keep the watchdog independent and ensure the federal tax consumer information office reports to Parliament rather than the minister or cabinet. Murray plans to remain based in Halifax, where he works full time for the city.
