The MPP for Simcoe Grey is presenting a petition at Queen’s Park, in protest of the federal and provincial money awarded to a private school in Collingwood.
The controversy over the half million dollar grant awarded to Pretty River Academy for a soccer field has made it into the national news.
The school says community groups in Collingwood will be able to rent the field after school hours.
Progressive Conservative MPP Jim Wilson says provincial negotiators are working with the school to be sure such an agreement is in place.
Fellow PC member Bill Murdoch presented his petition against the proposed HST at Queens Park yesterday.
Simcoe North MPP Garfield Dunlop private member’s bill — calling for a ban on garbage at the Site 41 landfill — will also come up for a bote.
Private members’ bills rarely become law.
Wilson further says there will be more revelations in the days to come in the scandal swirling around Ontario Lottery and Gaming.
With the ousted CEO now suing the province for 8.4 million dollars, he says the allegations of corruption she’s making are quite serious.
