Progressive Conservatives keep up pressure to have ex-McGuinty staffer and her boyfriend testify before gas plants committee
Refusing to let go of the $1.1 billion power plant scandal, Progressive Conservatives are pressing for a former Dalton McGuinty staffer and her computer-savvy boyfriend to testify before a legislative committee.
Conservative MPP John Yakabuski called on Premier Kathleen Wynne to use her new majority power to ensure Laura Miller and Peter Faist tell MPPs anything they know about deleted documents in the former premier’s office.
“If Perry Mason found out that there were two eyewitnesses to the case, they would be heard,” Yakabuski said in the legislature’s final question period before its summer break.
Wynne had poured cold water on that idea after the June 12 election and was even cooler to it Thursday, saying it’s time for the committee to stop hearing witnesses and write its report on lessons learned in the cancellations of two plants in Mississauga and Oakville before the 2011 election.
“You are not Perry Mason, but your performance was worthy of Perry Mason,” the premier retorted to Yakabuski in a reference to the famous TV defence lawyer from decades ago.
