Amherstburg town council will consider a report from its Integrity Commissioner at the February 23 council meeting.

At the beginning of the October 27, 2025 council meeting, Councillor McArthur made a motion not to discuss the matter in camera because he thought ‘you folks would want to hear it.’

Everyone then heard it – in fact McArthur said it twice during his speech.

“I don’t think that a member of the public, and I don’t think a member of a town committee should go to a town event on town property and say to town employees that one of their co workers is a f***ing b**ch,” said McArthur.

McArthur continued, “I think if we did a poll in this room and we asked you, do you think it’s okay for someone to go on a town property and say to town employees that your co worker is a f***ing b***ch, I think you would say that’s not appropriate.”

Principles Integrity, the town’s integrity commissioner, completed its investigation of a complaint by council about a committee member’s conduct.

An integrity commissioner can make recommendations, but council decides to agree or implement a different remedy.
