The Premier To Be Questioned By The O-P-P This Week About Sudbury By-Election

By Stew Kernan

Premier Kathleen Wynne says she’ll co-operate fully with Ontario Provincial Police when they question her later this week about the Liberal party’s actions during the by-election in Sudbury’s February.

The OPP are investigating allegations the Liberals offered a job or appointment to Andrew Olivier, their Sudbury candidate in 2014, to step aside in favour of Wynne’s preferred choice for the b-yelection, former N-D-P MP Glenn Thibeault.

Wynne says she’ll answer whatever questions the police have, and will leave it up to the public to make any judgments about the appearance of a sitting premier being interviewed by police.

The OPP began investigating allegations the Liberals’ actions violated the Criminal Code, but later began looking into possible violations of the Election Act as well.
