The committee okayed his application. I think the party exec are giving him a shot, so they will not be accused of trying to torpedo him. They want the party members to reject him in favour of another.

Exiled former Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown’s bid to run for his old job has been approved by the party’s vetting committee.
The controversial former Tory chief — forced to resign Jan. 25 after a sexual impropriety scandal involving teenage girls — was given the green light Wednesday by the PC provincial nomination committee.
That means he has been permitted to seek the party crown against former MPP Christine Elliott, ex-Toronto councillor Doug Ford, rookie PC candidate Caroline Mulroney, and anti-sex education crusader Tanya Granic Allen.
After a marathon four-and-a-half-hour Albany Club meeting, the nomination committee agreed by a margin of 3-2 to let Brown enter the race.
The rest here.
