France Gélinas and Jamie West brought forward the bill this spring on the same day AG released scathing preliminary report on Laurentian University, but it died on the order sheets shortly afterward due to impending provincial election
Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas says a bill to eliminate any future challenges to the role or powers of Ontario’s auditor general could be reintroduced as early as next week.
The MPPs said they planned on reintroducing the bill on the auditor general’s powers if they were lucky enough to be re-elected June 2, which both Gélinas and West were. Speaking to Sudbury.com this week, Gélinas said the province’s public accounts committee, of which she is a member, met for the first time on Monday since the June provincial election.
The MPP says she wants to see if any of the people at the meeting have ideas for the bill to strengthen the Ontario auditor general’s powers.
