Ontario’s Premier should allow voters to fire provincial and municipal politicians who behave badly, Progressive Conservative Randy Hillier said Wednesday.

(QUEEN’S PARK) Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, has called on Premier Wynne in an open letter to fast track Bill 124, his Private Member’s Bill that allows for the recall of Members of Provincial Parliament. Hillier suggests his Bill could be easily amended to include all municipally elected officials.

Last week, I sent Premier Kathleen Wynne an open letter requesting her to support my Private Members Bill, Bill 124, that would allow for the recall of Members of Provincial Parliament. I asked her, in the wake of the controversies surrounding not just Toronto, but other municipalities across Ontario, to consider supporting amendments that would include all municipally elected representatives in the Province as well.

Today I sat down in studio with Anna Maria Tremonti on CBC Radio's The Current to discuss my MPP Recall Legislation and the need for it in Canadian politics. I was joined by Canada's former Chief Electoral Officer Jean Pierre Kingsley. We had a very thoughtful and thorough discussion about the merits of the Legislation. Have a listen and enjoy!

Yesterday I spoke with Rob Snow on CFRA to chat about my newly introduced Recall Legislation. We spoke about why I think it's necessary that we have this important democratic tool and how it would work in practice. 

Have a listen and enjoy!
