Mr. Wilson moved,

M. Wilson propose,

That, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario,

Recognize the findings in the February 2015 report of the Chief Electoral Officer of Ontario that the actions of Pat Sorbara, the Premier's Deputy Chief of Staff, and Gerry Lougheed Jr., the Chair of the Greater Sudbury Police Services Board, in relation to former Liberal candidate, Andrew Olivier, constitute an apparent breach of the bribery provisions of the Election Act;

Recognize that the actions of the Premier and her political operatives have led to two separate OPP investigations;

Therefore, it is the opinion of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario that the said actions of the Premier, her Deputy Chief of Staff and Gerry Lougheed Jr. have breached the standards of integrity and accountability that are required and expected of the Office of the Premier.
