Doug Ford dined with Madeleine Bodenstein and Mario Cortellucci at his daughter’s wedding in September. His cabinet approved Bodenstein’s appointment to York Region Police Services Board this month, after appointing Cortellucci to it in October

Her appointment to York's police board isn't official just yet. The house government agencies committee still has the chance to call her forward to review it. No-shows and not extending deadlines are becoming a "trend" said NDP MPP Doly Begum during a past committee meeting. Bodenstein is a realtor and funeral director. She's also on the board of directors of the Reena Foundation, a non-profit Jewish-faith-based organization that provides support for people living with disabilities.
Kerzner's office is responsible for making appointments to police services boards across the province and to the Death Investigation Overnight Council. His office also did not respond to a detailed list of questions before publication. In November, Sarah Letersky was appointed to the Prince Edward County board. Letersky was a communications advisor to then-official Opposition leaders Patrick Brown and Vic Fedeli from March 2017 until the 2018 election.
York’s board has seven members. For seven-member boards, the province appoints three members while the local council has control over the other four, according to the rules set out in the Police Services Act. Five-member boards have two provincial appointees. Three-member boards have one. Roach did not want to comment on specific appointees because he “wouldn't want to suggest that someone who is involved in a political party, or even has been a candidate or a representative, per se, should not be on a board,” he said.
