These ambitions were put to an end by the so called "billion-dollar boondoggle" where poor accounting practices at HRDC left millions of dollars unaccounted for. While the problems at HRDC mostly date from the time of her predecessor, Pierre Pettigrew, Stewart took the brunt of the attack, and was considered to have handled the scandal poorly. Despite this, she did not resign, and Chrétien stood by her throughout the ordeal.
She remained minister in charge of HRDC until Paul Martin became Prime Minister on December 12, 2003. She was moved to the backbenches both because of the continued taint of scandal and her position as a loyalist to the ousted Chretien. She retired from politics on February 13, 2004 to become a United Nations International Labour Organization member. In July 2005, she left her job with the United Nations to return to Canada and marry Henry Stolp.
