(QUEEN’S PARK) MPP Randy Hillier (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington) has called on the government to amend Bill 201 - Election Finances Statute Law Amendment Act, which is currently before a traveling committee, to prevent Ministers and other Government Officials from holding cash-for-access fundraisers with stakeholders under their jurisdiction.
“What we have heard is that our democracy has been poisoned and distorted at the expense of the people of Ontario,” announced Hillier. “I’ll be working tirelessly to ensure Bill 201 brings an immediate elimination of cash-for-access to Ministers and ensure that those in our highest public offices are not using their privileges to cash in for their parties,” Hillier proclaimed
