Legislative Assembly of Ontario

Motion moved by Paul Calandra on February 22, 2022

That this House expresses its disapproval of, and dissociates itself from, continued disreputable conduct by the Member for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston (Mr. Hillier), most specifically his use of social media to make racist and discriminatory statements about a federal Cabinet Minister and for publishing social media posts insinuating a call to violence; and That this House demands the Member for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston make written apologies for his behavior to the Hon. Omar Alghabra, PC, MP and to this House, by way of the Speaker, and publish his written apologies and desist from further conduct that is inappropriate and unbecoming of a Member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario; and That the Speaker is authorized to not recognize the Member for Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston in the House until the Speaker has received copies of the Member’s written apologies and is satisfied of their sincerity.
