IT consultant Peter Faist, who is the spouse of former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty's deputy chief of staff, was paid $10,000 by the Liberal caucus to wipe data off of approximately 20 government computers, police claim.

The allegation, unproven in court, comes from an Ontario Provincial Police Information to Obtain document released by the Ontario Superior Court on Thursday. The document was used to get a search warrant, which was executed at a government office in late November.



The data Faist is said to have deleted relates to the cancellation of two gas plants in the Toronto-area prior to an election campaign. Police suspect the data were internal email conversations regarding the cancellation of the gas plants.

David Livingston, McGuinty's chief of staff, is accused of ordering the deletion of the emails.
