Today in the Ontario Legislature, Randy Hillier (Independent MPP for Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston) called upon the government to create a Standing Committee on Indigenous Relations.

In a rare show of unity, all four parties in the Ontario Legislature came together in support of my Bill 162, the Public Accountability and Lobbyist Transparency Act.

I trust that together in committee, all sides will be working in good faith to adopt my anti corruption Bill for Lobbyists, elected members and staff; give our Integrity Commissioner more robust oversight, and enshrine meaningful penalties for political wrongdoings.

Hydro One continues to frustrate and obstruct the Government’s mandate to lower electricity costs and improve and expand quality broadband internet in rural Ontario.

During the last week of the Legislature Randy introduced a Private Members Bill, the Public Accountability and Lobbyist Transparency Act, 2019, which, if passed, will provide a much more robust framework to ensure elected members and public servants act in a fashion more in keeping with our expectations, and to limit the undue influence that some lobbyists have over government.

It was a pleasure to debate and offer my comments on the government's proposed changes to the rules of the Assembly.

Today I questioned the Minister of Children, Community and Social Services about the Government’s failure to prioritize funding to families in need of autism services.

I rose in the Legislature this afternoon to address Ontario’s education crisis and tomorrow’s job action by OSSTF and ETFO members.

Here is my Independent perspective of Ontario's hair brained & bizzare lottery system for retail cannabis stores and the significant consequences that have resulted.
