International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino has referred a potential conflict of interest case to the public sector integrity commissioner.

A former executive with the Canadian International Development Agency who was at the centre of a recent whistleblower watchdog report went on to go work on a CIDA-funded project after he left the agency, according to a French media newspaper report on Thursday.

"It has come to my attention that a former CIDA employee may have been in a conflict of interest," Fantino said in a press release on Thursday.

Naresh Singh, the former CIDA executive, according to the media report, left the agency and went to work for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities as the director in charge of overseeing a new $23.2-million CIDA-funded project. But he resigned from his post at the FCM on Monday, after media tried to reach him for an interview.
