Wynne to meet Elections Ontario officials over claims of by-election misconduct

Premier Kathleen Wynne will meet with Elections Ontario officials this week in an investigation into claims of improper behaviour in a by-election.

Wynne asked Andrew Olivier, the Liberals candidate in Sudbury, Ont., in last Junes general election, not to seek the nomination for the Feb. 5 by-election there because she had another preferred candidate.

Olivier has accused the Liberals of offering him a job or appointment in return for stepping aside for their new star candidate Glenn Thibeault, who left his job as an NDP MP to run for the provincial Liberals.

Olivier, who is quadriplegic and records conversations in lieu of taking notes, released audio of his conversations with two Liberals, including Ontario Liberal campaign director Pat Sorbara.

The opposition parties say the recordings prove Oliviers allegations are true, but the Liberals say the tapes vindicate them, as they were discussing ways Olivier could remain involved in the party or with accessibility work, but only after he was already told he wouldnt be the candidate.

The Liberals say that both Wynne and Sorbara will meet with Elections Ontario this week as it investigates Oliviers allegations.

Raj Sherman, Alberta Liberal Leader, Quits

EDMONTON - The last of the four party leaders who ran in Alberta's 2012 election is calling it quits.

Raj Sherman of the Alberta Liberals announced Monday he was stepping down from the party's top job immediately and will not run in the next election in his riding of Edmonton-Meadowlark.

He joins three other former leaders who have already stepped down Progressive Conservative premier Alison Redford, Danielle Smith of the Wildrose and Brian Mason of the NDP.

Sherman, 48, said that after two terms and three years as party leader, it was time to go.

"It's a personal decision for me," Sherman told a legislature news conference, alongside Liberal Party president Shelley Wark-Martyn.

"It's time for me to move on to new challenges, and to turn the page on the next chapter of my life."

Wark-Martyn said the party's board of directors will name an interim leader and map out the leadership race at a meeting in Calgary on Sunday.

She said it's up to the executive to decide if the party will have a permanent or interim leader should an election be called for this spring.

Under Sherman, the Liberals continued their decline in both fundraising and in popularity, dropping from 16 seats in 2004 to nine seats in 2008 to just five in the 2012 campaign.

Nevertheless, Sherman said he was proud of his accomplishments, saying he took the party out of debt and has all the riding associations registered and ready to take candidates.

Sudbury Byelection 2015: Wynne To Meet Elections Ontario Officials Over Misconduct Claims

TORONTO - Premier Kathleen Wynne and a senior Liberal official will meet with Elections Ontario this week in an investigation into claims of improper behaviour in a byelection.

Wynne asked Andrew Olivier, the Liberals' candidate in Sudbury, Ont., in last June's general election, not to seek the nomination for the Feb. 5 byelection there because she had another preferred candidate.

Olivier has alleged that the Liberals offered him a job or appointment in exchange for his stepping aside for Glenn Thibeault, who left his job as an NDP MP to run for the provincial Liberals.

The Ontario New Democrats asked Elections Ontario to investigate, pointing to the Election Act, which makes it an offence to promise a job or appointment to induce a person to withdraw their candidacy.

This week, Elections Ontario will meet with Wynne and Ontario Liberal campaign director Pat Sorbara, the Liberal party said in a statement Monday.

Wynne said Monday she is "pleased" Elections Ontario is moving forward.

"We knew that there had been a request, we knew that there had been some concerns," she said.

"We've been very clear about what the interaction was, that there were no specific offers made in requests for any specific action, that many of the allegations that have been made by the opposition parties are false and so I'm pleased that Elections Ontario is going to move ahead and get this dealt with."

Olivier, who is quadriplegic and records conversations in lieu of taking notes, released audio of his talks with two Liberals, including Sorbara. Wynne has said she doesn't know if her conversation with Olivier was recorded too, but if so, any audio would confirm what she has said all along, that they were encouraging Olivier to stay involved with the party, but no specific offers or commitments were made.
