The opposition peppered Ford with questions about developers attending his daughter and son-in-law's $150-per-ticket stag-and-doe event last summer before their wedding.
The opposition peppered Ford with questions about developers attending his daughter and son-in-law's $150-per-ticket stag-and-doe event last summer before their wedding.
NDP Leader Marit Stiles, in her first question period as head of the Opposition, asked Ford multiple questions about the stag and doe, and his dealings with developers. The Office of the Integrity Commissioner of Ontario has said that based on information provided, Ford had no knowledge of gifts given to his daughter and son-in-law and there was no discussion of government business at the summer event.Stiles said the issue wasn't about Ford's family, rather it was about the premier's behaviour and the integrity of his office. She asked if the premier or any government staffers had a role in making the invitation list for the event.
Justice Paul Rouleau, the inquiry's commissioner, concluded that Ontario was reluctant to become "fully engaged" with the City of Ottawa and the federal government, and called the province's reluctance to resolve the situation in Ottawa "troubling."Rouleau said the province "abandoned" the people of Ottawa by not helping sooner. He noted Ontario only became fully involved once protesters blocked the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont.
He said the province will work on better co-ordination between police forces, another problem Rouleau highlighted his 2,000-page report.
