[S]ome [McGill University Health Centre] sources [said] that [Centre head Arthur] Porter had become an absentee executive director in the past few years as he founded a cancer centre in the Bahamas, took on his responsibilities with the Privy Council, [Security and Intelligence Review Committee] as well as a number of corporate directorships.
The chair of the [MUHC] Board of trustees is a defender of Porter and has a deft way with the press:
[David] Angus told The Gazette that the MUHC board of directors had approved of all of Porter’s duties outside the MUHC. Asked to provide documents proving this, Angus said: “Are you calling me a liar?” He then hung up the phone.
Arthur Porter will resign.

He certainly has been a moving target over the years, to judge from this bio sketch. You might even say a whirling dervish.

Plus, something in the string of listed qualifications somehow doesn’t sit well:
Arthur T. Porter MA MD MBA DMRT FRCPC FACR FACRO FAAMA.
