OPP lay charges in Sudbury byelection scandal, Wynne urged to step aside
Premier Kathleen Wynne faced calls for her to step aside Thursday as OPP laid charges in the Sudbury byelection bribery case. “Now, it’s more than allegations — charges have been laid,” Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown said. “I asked today in question period will the premier step aside during this process. “I hope the government will do the right thing given the fact the OPP has laid charges … allegedly what has happened has been criminal. Gerry Lougheed wasn’t freelancing here,” Brown said outside the legislature. Lougheed, 61, a prominent member of the Sudbury community and a long-time Liberal organizer and fund raiser, faces Criminal Code charges of counselling an offence not committed and unlawfully influencing or negotiating appointments.
