  • RCCAO Welcomes Changes to Ontario's Cabinet
    RCCAO welcomes changes to Ontario’s cabinet Government by DCN News Services Jun 14, 2016 TORONTO —Premier Kathleen Wynne’s decision to make Bob Chiarelli the new minister of infrastructure as part of her cabinet shuffle is being applauded by the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO). "Minister Chiarelli has a long and distinguished career of public service at both the municipal and provincial orders of government," explained RCCAO executive director Andy Manahan in a statement. "Our coalition welcomes his return to the infrastructure portfolio and we look forward to working with him to promote Ontario's Infrastructure agenda." Chiarelli was energy minister for three years and also infrastructure minister from 2010 and 2013 under former premier Dalton McGuinty. With the province committing more than $137 billion over the next 10 years to roads, bridges, public transit, hospitals and schools, it's important to have proper planning and execution, the RCCAO stated. "RCCAO's recent independent research has examined megatrends and the future of infrastructure, how best to implement the proposed federal infrastructure bank, as well as the long-term economic benefits of Ontario's 10-year infrastructure plan," the RCCAO release noted. "Chiarelli was the architect of the 10-year plan and his return to the infrastructure portfolio will give him an opportunity to carry-on this important work." The Ministry of Infrastructure is now a stand-alone ministry that is responsible for the implementation of the province's $160 billion investment over 12 years (starting in 2014-15). "Key investments in transit, housing and public infrastructure are going to create jobs and ensure that Ontario remains a global destination for talent and investment," added Manahan.

  • Re the Honourable Bob Chiarelli the Honourable Michael Coteau and the Honourable Yasir Naqvi, December 8
    Legislative Assemblée Assembly législative of Ontario de l’Ontario OFFICE OF THE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER ~ REPORT OF THE HONOURABLE J. DAVID WAKE INTEGRITY COMMISSIONER RE: THE HONOURABLE BOB CHIARELLI, THE HONOURABLE MICHAEL COTEAU AND THE HONOURABLE YASIR NAQVI TORONTO, ONTARIO December 8, 2016 RE: THE HONOURABLE BOB CHIARELLI, THE HONOURABLE MICHAEL COTEAU AND THE HONOURABLE YASIR NAQVI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report relates to a request made by Catherine Fife, the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for Kitchener-Waterloo, under section 30 of the Members’ Integrity Act, 1994 (the “ Act ”) about (1) Bob Chiarelli , MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and Minister of Infrastructure, (2) Michael Coteau , MPP for Don Valley East and Minister of Child and Youth Services and (3) Yasir Naqvi , MPP for Ottawa Centre and Government House Leader and Attorney General (the “Ministers ”). Ms. Fife alleged that in contravention of section 2 of the Act the Ministers instructed staff in their respective ministerial offices to participate in partisan fundraising activities such that the Ministers furthered their own private interests by: (a) helping them to achieve the fundraising quotas assigned to them by the Ontario Liberal Party (the “ OLP ”) with the consent of the Premier, and (b) benefiting as future candidates from contributions to the OLP. Ms. Fife also alleged that by instructing their staff to engage in these activities, the Ministers blurred the lines between partisan fundraising and government business. In my opinion, the Ministers did not contravene section 2 of the Act because their private interests were not engaged. I found no evidence that fundraising quotas were assigned to the Ministers and that any benefit to them as future candidates would be too remote to be considered a private interest.
