Meredith is a social conservative who has spoken out against pre-marital sex and stated that “when we have marriages, we don’t have these social problems.” Meredith has also stated that he would like to see the age of sexual consent raised to 18 from 14 which was at odds with the then-Conservative government’s stated intention to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16. Nonetheless, Meredith had supported New Democratic Party (NDP) Member of Parliament (MP) Bill Siksay’s private member’s bill to add gender identity to the list of distinguishable group traits protected from hate speech by the Criminal Code and to allow judges to take into account whether crimes were motivated by hatred of transgender or transsexual people when determining the offender’s sentence. In opposition, Stephen Harper had opposed Siksay’s predecessor, former NDP MP Svend Robinson’s successful private member’s bill that added sexual orientation to the law in 2004.

In 2008, he received the Toronto Police Service 13 Division Community Service Award.

In October 2015, the Office of the Senate Ethics Officer suspended its investigation pending the result of the concurrent police investigation that took over the file. Ending up the teenager, Ms. M, declined to press criminal charges to protect her identity. After the police investigation was dropped the Senate ethics office investigation resumed in February 2016 and found him guilty of ethics violations in March 2017 after he conceded he had sexual intercourse with the woman after she turned 18. The woman said that Meredith “continually encouraged her to be in a relationship with him” and that he frequently masturbated on-camera during video chats while he was in his GTA Faith Alliance office. Meredith called the encouragement a gross lie and did not recall masturbating, but said that if he did “it was an interaction”.

Meredith announced on May 9, 2017 that he will be resigning from the Senate. The announcement came shortly after the Senate Ethics Committee found that his conduct “demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as a senator” as “He has abused his privileged position of authority and trust by engaging in behaviour that is incompatible with his office”, and “No lesser sanction than expulsion would repair the harm he has done to the Senate”. Though the Senate has no explicit power to expel a member, a situation unprecedented in Canadian history, the Ethics Committee “accepted the legal opinion of the law clerk and parliamentary counsel to the Senate that the Constitution gives the upper house the same privileges enjoyed by the United Kingdom’s House of Commons, which can permanently eject a member”. Had Meredith not agreed to resign voluntarily, it was “virtually certain his former colleagues would have voted overwhelmingly” to expel him. In his resignation letter he stated that “the path of expulsion being considered by [his] colleagues will have major implications for the Senate of Canada” and that “this is a constitutional fight in which [he] will not engage.” His resignation took effect on May 10, 2017.
