Barbara McDougall also serves on the Board of Directors of Imperial Tobacco Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of British American Tobacco. In that capacity, she chairs the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of Imperial Tobacco Canada.^[1] Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett criticized her appointment as Chair of IDRC because of the conflict of interest it creates between her role as director of a tobacco company and chair of an agency that funds tobacco control efforts. ^[2]
