Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report June 28, 2019

Quotation of the day

“Soccer moms don’t like Doug.”

An anonymous Conservative describes the vibe at the doors ahead of the federal election, according to Postmedia columnist John Ivison. ​ ​ ​ ​

Today at Queen’s Park

On the schedule The summer recess is on until Monday, October 28.

Queen’s Park Today is taking Canada Day off — the next issue of the newsletter will be ​ delivered on Wednesday, July 3.

Ministers say Ford ‘disappointed’ by appointments linked to his chief of staff, premier keeps mum Premier ’s ministers say he is “disappointed” by and “has zero tolerance” for the ​ ​ string of appointments that were recently revealed to be personally tied to his embattled ex-chief of staff Dean French. ​ ​

French abruptly resigned his post last Friday after reports two plum agents-general postings — now-revoked — were given to his personal connections.

Since then, the media has shone light on more French-linked positions and Ford has promised to review pending appointments. While some ministers have said the review will include past appointments, the premier’s office has walked that back somewhat, saying it will revoke previous appointments if they’re deemed problematic, but hasn’t said if those would be rooted out through the review process.

Following a cabinet meeting on Thursday, newly shuffled Education Minister ​ suggested French resigned over the appointment scandal — reinforcing what many Queen’s Park watchers expected. At the time, the premier’s office said French was leaving for the private sector around the one-year anniversary of the PC’s election win “as he had always planned.”

“There’s a reason why he no longer works in the premier’s office,” Lecce told reporters, making a vague reference to French. “The premier himself, when it came to his attention, ended it immediately … He left the premier’s office and I’ve been clear that the premier himself ensured that outcome,” Lecce said.

He called the questionable appointments “unacceptable decisions.”

“When it comes to the premier’s mood on this, he has zero tolerance for that type of activity … He's been clear to all of us, that we have to ensure confidence in the system. That's why we're doing review of those appointments,” Lecce went on to say.

He also defended the hiring of Miroslaw Surma, father of Associate Transportation Minister ​ ​ and close Ford ally , as a policy adviser in the economic development minister’s ​ ​ office.

“Staff are the prerogative of the minister,” Lecce said. He said the elder Surma had work experience in the telecom industry and understands “everyday aspirations” as a “middle class person.”

“That is actually a voice that should be informing more cabinet ministers,” he said, adding there were “too many ivory tower people” advising the previous Liberal rulers.

The education minister — one of cabinet’s more skilled communicators — was cagey when pressed on why Ford wasn’t addressing the matter publicly with reporters. Earlier that morning, at an unrelated announcement, Government and Consumer Services Minister Lisa Thompson ​ said Ford was “disappointed” by the controversial French-linked appointments. ​ ​

“The premier takes a lot of questions. In fact, he's out there doing a lot of media availabilities,” Lecce maintained.

Ford has not taken questions from reporters since French’s abrupt exit last Friday. The Opposition said that’s a problem.

“The premier is hiding away, letting other ministers do frankly the work that he needs to be doing,” said NDP MPP . ​

“If qualified people are being passed over so that the premier himself can install members of his inner circle or do favours for someone, then that is simply unacceptable. It's gross, and it's inappropriate,” she said.

Stiles put her earlier request to have the Standing Committee on Government Agencies review ​ ​ the appointments in a letter to Premier Doug Ford. She has said the review must be external ​ ​

and asked Ford to recall the committee over the summer and expand its duties so that it can retroactively review all the appointments since the PCs took office as well as the process itself.

“While we understand that your government has pledged to do its own internal evaluation, I am sure you can appreciate the lack of confidence that the public has with a closed door review initiated and carried out by the very same office at the root of the concerns now before us,” Stiles wrote in the letter.

Topics of conversation

● Recently shuffled Environment Minister was in Halifax alongside his ​ ​ provincial counterparts for the Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment meeting, where plastic waste, climate change, air quality and wastewater issues were discussed. ○ Yurek took the opportunity to double down on criticism of Bill C-69, the federal ​ ​ Liberals’ controversial legislation overhauling the environmental impact assessment process for major capital projects such as pipelines, as well as the carbon backstop. ○ Meanwhile, the province’s top court is set to release its decision on the government’s reference case challenge against the federal carbon program later today.

● A new report from Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner Brian Beamish ​ raises alarm bells about the “large amount of sensitive personal information” political parties collect from Ontarians. Beamish warns increasingly sophisticated data practices can be used to “target individuals, manipulate public opinion and influence election

outcomes” and is calling on the province to make political parties’ “privacy requirements set out in Ontario’s access and privacy laws.” ○ Beamish also recommends the province review and modernize Ontario’s privacy laws “to address the risks inherent in smart city technologies,” such as Sidewalk Lab’s proposed Quayside development.

● Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake released his annual report earlier this week. Here ​ ​ are a few highlights: ○ It was a banner year for MPP inquiries to the ethics watchdog, with Wake’s office addressing 533 matters from members, up 82 per cent from the 292 requests it handled last year. Politicians can ask Wake’s office for advice on anything from what gifts they’re allowed to accept to what personal finances they need to disclose. Wake chalks up the increase to the wave of newbie MPPs and the legislature growing from 107 MPPs to 124. ○ Many more lobbyists also sought advice about the consequences of political activity on their “ability to lobby a successful candidate for whom they had been active during the campaign.” Wake said he advised on 108 lobbyist inquiries, a 30 per cent spike from the previous year. ○ The number of active lobbying registrations is edging close to 3,000 — there were 2,752 as of March 31, 2019 — which Wake said is a “sharp increase” from the same time last year, when there were 2,120 registrations. The number of active consultants has also spiked, from 2,277 at the end of March versus 1,691 the year before.

● The and the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) signed the Métis Government Recognition and Self-Government Agreement in Ottawa Thursday, officially granting the province’s Métis people the right to self-government. The agreement covers areas such as citizenship, leadership selection and internal operations and paves the way for MNO to transition from “its current corporate form to an Indigenous government recognized in Canadian law.”

Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction ’s chief of ​ ​ staff has yet to be finalized, according to the list obtained by QPT. Tim Porter, MacLeod’s ​ ​ ​ ​ former chief when she was on the Children Services file, has left government. ​ ​

NDP Steve Piazza, a press secretary with the New Democrats, is exiting the political fray and ​ headed to work in the non-profit sector. Yesterday was Piazza’s last day at the legislature.

News releases — governmental Municipal Affairs and Housing ● Minister Steve Clark was in Bracebridge to announce a $1-million pilot project to help ​ ​ municipalities dealing with flooding and the impact of extreme weather and natural disasters. The pilot would provide eligible municipalities with up to 15 per cent of the estimated cost of rebuilding damaged public infrastructure. ○ “We know that some municipalities have limited financial resources to improve local infrastructure. By not having to rebuild the same washed-out road or bridge again and again, communities will save money over the long-term,” Clark said in a statement. ○ The envelope comes after many cities and towns in eastern Ontario saw flooding.

○ Green Leader said it was “hypocritical and fiscally irresponsible” ​ ​ for the PCs to be “throwing a million dollars at a pilot project” that won’t reverse the damage caused by other Ford-branded policies. That includes “cutting flood prevention programs, gutting environmental protections that limit flooding and spending millions to sabotage climate solutions,” and cutting tree-planting programs, Schreiner said.

Government and Consumer Services ● Minister Lisa Thompson launched the next phase of the government’s consultations for ​ ​ ​ a digital strategy and announced members of a Digital and Data Task Force that will help ​ inform new policy. ○ The minister’s task force comprises of: ■ Chair Linda Mantia, a former executive at Manulife Financial focused on ​ ​ technology; ■ Vice-chair Bryan Smith, co-founder and CEO at ThinkData Works, a ​ ​ Toronto-based tech firm that processes data for corporate clients; ■ Bilal Khan, managing partner and head of Deloitte Data; ​ ■ Avner Levin, professor and founding director of Ryerson University’s ​ privacy and cyber crime institute; ■ Maithili Mavinkurve, co-founder and COO at Sightline Innovations, an AI ​ company; ■ Shyam Oberoi, chief digital officer at the Royal Ontario Museum; ​ ■ Mark Sakamoto, an executive VP at Think Research, a health-care ​ software company; and ■ Kirsten Thompson, a partner at Dentons Canada and national lead of ​ the firm’s Transformative Technologies and Data Strategy group. ○ Thompson’s ministry is holding public and industry stakeholder roundtable consultations in Sault Ste. Marie, Sarnia, Stratford, Ottawa, Peterborough and Toronto, as well as online this summer.

Funding announcements

Premier’s office ● Premier Doug Ford, Health Minister Christine Elliott, Infrastructure Minister Laurie ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Scott and parliamentary assistant for Health were at SickKids Hospital ​ ​ ​ Thursday for a tour of the facility and to recommit to Liberal-era funding for its redevelopment plans. ○ Last spring, then-premier announced $2.4 billion for the ​ ​ hospital’s redevelopment, including the construction of a new patient care centre. ○ Earlier this month, Mattamy Homes CEO Peter Gilgan announced a $100-million ​ ​ donation to SickKids, the largest donation it has ever received. Accordingly, the

promised patient care centre will now be dubbed the Peter Gilgan Family Patient Care Tower. ○ The premier’s office did not provide any new funding details, but said the forthcoming tower and blood and marrow transplant/cellular therapy unit will make a “real difference in the lives of young patients and their families.”
