The NDP and Liberals criticized a recent Progressive Conservative Party fundraiser and questioned whether everyone who attended the $1,250-a-person dinner bought tickets using their own funds or whether corporations covered some people’s costs
House Leader Todd Smith said on Tuesday that he was “confident that our fundraisers have been completely above board.” When asked by Ms. Horwath to sign the letter asking for an investigation, Premier Doug Ford laughed and said he is focused on taking care of Ontarians.
The letter highlights five companies with multiple employees who have the same names as people who recently donated $1,250 to the PC Party. Mr. Ford alleged in the legislature that the NDP engaged in “illegal fundraising” and threatened to ask the Ontario Provincial Police to investigate. He also said the NDP posted notice of the event four days before it took place, instead of the required seven.
