The complaint comes as the Star reported that provincial appointees and a lobbyist sat alongside Ford and developers at the wedding of the premier’s daughter last summer.
One of the wedding guests — who sat at a table with Ford — landed a position on a provincial agency two months later. Another is lobbying for a housing developer to open up Greenbelt lands.
The premier has said the wedding is a private matter, saying “my family is separate from the political process. They aren’t involved.” In her complaint, Stiles said “several of the individuals and developers who attended the subsequent wedding have received favourable minister’s zoning orders and at least one has benefitted from recent policy changes related to Greenbelt land removals.”
“I am concerned that invitees felt pressured to contribute to the premier’s family fundraiser, particularly as some invitees felt they weren’t being asked as ‘friends’ of the premier — but as government stakeholders — and feared impacts on their professional reputations and working relationships with the government.”
the integrity commissioner months after the $150-a-ticket stag and doe, and was cleared based on information he provided.
