The Liberals have agreed to repay $11,000 billed to taxpayers for the alleged scrubbing of computer hard drives in the office of then premier Dalton McGuinty.
Under pressure from opposition parties, the Liberals have agreed to repay $11,000 billed to taxpayers for the alleged scrubbing of computer hard drives in the office of then premier Dalton McGuinty.
The payment was first revealed last week in an Ontario Provincial Police search warrant application as part of an investigation into deleted documents in the $1.1 billion gas plants scandal that has continued to dog Premier Kathleen Wynne.
Her office was keen to distance the current Liberal administration from McGuinty’s, which ended in February 2013.
The Liberal party’s executive council made the decision “to ensure no tax dollars are expended for work performed in the office of the former premier in relation to matters currently under investigation by Ontario Provincial Police,” Wynne’s office said in a statement.
With HST, the total will come to $11,017,50.
