David Dingwall Biography

David Dingwall is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on June 29, 1952 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. David Charles Dingwall PC (born June 29th 1952) is a Canadian administrator and the former Canadian Cabinet minister, and civil public servant. He is head of Cape Breton University.

Dingwall was a candidate for re-election in 1997, in the newly-created district of Bras d’Or. She lost by about 1000 votes Michelle Dockrill of the NDP.

In the fall of 2005, Dingwall came under scrutiny for having allegedly made excessive expense claims while he was President of the Royal Canadian Mint. In the midst of these allegations, Dingwall resigned from the Mint on September 28, 2005. When questioned while giving testimony before Parliament as to why he felt he should receive a severance package after the voluntary resignation, he remarked “I’m entitled to my entitlements.” The statement would be used by the Conservatives in a television advertisement during the 2006 federal election that featured that part of Dingwall’s testimony.

On leaving the Royal Canadian Mint, Dingwall called for an independent audit which was completed by PricewaterhouseCoopers who found “the expenses fell within the guidelines”. A second independent review by the law firm of Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt found that the Mint’s process for monitoring expenses were stricter than those of most private corporations. The twin reports completely exonerated Dingwall. On or about February 4, 2006, retired Superior Court Justice George Adams found that the Government of Canada essentially forced Dingwall out when he released his findings in a binding arbitration ruling.

After his defeat in 1997, Dingwall was given an honorary Doctorate of Laws from the University College of Cape Breton as well as the Connaught Award presented by the Canadian Lung Association. Dingwall was president of Wallding International, a company that handles government relations and was on a variety of corporate Boards of Directors, including Rogers Sugar Income Fund, MD Life, Advisory Board, State Street Global Advisors Inc. Director of Webstandard Inc., and Director of Journeys End Car Rental Limited.
