Kathleen Wynne urged to toughen penalties for political staff who destroy records

[Locutus]

really?

Ontario’s new majority Liberal government should put “strong” teeth into laws requiring political staff to preserve records in the wake of the $1.1 billion gas plants scandal, Information and Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian urged Tuesday.

“There have to be consequences,” Cavoukian told a news conference after delivering her annual report, calling for “strong” penalties.

“We need to make the act of wilfully destroying documents an offence,” she added, but stopped short of specifying what penalties she would like to see and would not say such actions should be considered a criminal offence.

Cavoukian issued a scathing report a year ago into deleted documents in the gas plants scandal, stemming from the cancellation of plants in Oakville and Mississauga before the 2011 election.

Remember all those paper shredders around Queens Park come Government Changing Day?

Now they just hit Delete

 

[damngrumpy]

All governments from the beginning of time have done this its nothing new and
will continue for a period long after most of us are gone.
Delete is cheaper than shredders anyway everyone know that.

The title of the op is laughable. It's a little late to ask a government that should have never been given another mandate to start behaving properly now.

I heard that now that there is a majority Lib government, they can pretty much sweep this one under the rug now.

Sucks not having a proportional democracy, doesn't it?

Shame I won't be there to contribute my tax dollars to the stupidity. You get what you deserve if you voted these bums back in. Should be entertaining watching from the sidelines.

I fuking hate this lying, thieving woman and that fact that she will not have to be accountable for what she did all because some moron wasn't vetted correctly and ran the campaign from hell. A chimp would have won against this idiot...why should he resign, all of his managers should be shot.

I fuking hate our system of government that can allow this type of corruption to be placed back into power allowing us no control and they have no accountability.

Sometime ask me what I really think if I don't hold back.

well lets see if i can wind you up enough to hear it
A chimp did try to win and all of Humpty's men could put the spin in the top.

The conservative focus group he aimed for was not enough and some conservatives bailed on him and voted Liberal.

It was Conservatives that put her in power.

The conservative spin docotrs and the ones that bailed knowing this guy was a chimp who danced to the wrong spin doctors

I sure do hope mr wynn doesn't develop prostate cancer...that would be a darn shame.

You're not completely wrong Doc. I wanted them to dump Hudak, but from where I stood the NDP would have been an improvement. Funny you don't sound so Conservative as you claimed when you got here, you just sound like Dave.:lol:

I do recall old Doc was a flaming Lieberal too. If he is not Doc, he certainly has the same political leanings as him.

Yep, the mask slips. I remember when he outed himself before and confessed how he had to work overtime to keep everything straight.

My piss-me-off from the mailbox came in a new hydro bill demanding $259/mo from what had been a crazy $169/mo for what isn't even 900 sq ft and heated by gas. I get $1172/mo on ODSP, and Hydro One wants 22% of it. Get rid of that internal pyramid of step-up profit generators (the debt, OPG, whoever it is that delivers the stuff and the office stuff with the greedy hands) and give us back Ontario Hydro. Sorry, but deregulation was neither Wynne nor McGuinty's baby
