New Democrats will move quickly to pass speaker’s warrant for Laurentian University documents

QUEEN’S PARK – Ontario NDP MPPs Jamie West (Sudbury) and France Gélinas (Nickel Belt) issued the following statement:

“When MPP Gélinas called on the Auditor General to audit Laurentian University we had hoped that we would see transparency and accountability for our community. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Laurentian must provide all requested financial documents to the Auditor General. New Democrats will work to make sure that today’s motion at Public Accounts committee will be quickly passed by the legislature at the earliest opportunity tomorrow.

Students and staff at Laurentian deserve better. The university has been hit hard by years of cuts and underfunding by governments. Doug Ford and his ministers have refused to help. We need clarity and transparency now so we can save this university for Sudbury and the North.”
