A provincial politician has been kicked out of the Progressive Conservative caucus days after he alleged he was being penalized for butting heads with people in the premier's inner circle.
A letter written by the Tory caucus chair and provided to media on Friday said Randy Hillier had been permanently expelled following a review of his behaviour both before and after his suspension from caucus last month.
Patterson's letter, sent last weekend to the constituency association in Hillier's riding, said the politician was being disciplined over a pattern of behaviour. The premier has said the veteran politician was suspended for comments he made as parents of children with autism packed the legislature's galleries last month in protest of the government's recent funding changes.
He said in his letter that he challenged the rationale for his suspension and was presented with a list of what he called "questionable and childish" issues, including complaints that he didn't clap enough in the House and wasn't sufficiently sharing government posts on social media.
