Who is George Radwanski?

George Radwanski is a former public servant, policy adviser, journalist and author. He is most recently known for having served as Privacy Commissioner of Canada until he resigned amid a controversy over expense claims, alleging that he was the victim of a political attack that resulted from antagonizing politicians and officials by his vigorous opposition to privacy-invasive government initiatives. He was later charged with fraud and breach of trust by the RCMP, but eventually acquitted of all charges. Prior to his appointment as Privacy Commissioner, Radwanski had had a twenty-year career in journalism followed by a career as a policy adviser and consultant.
