Our MPP’s latest bill has passed second reading. Norm Miller’s bill aims at strengthening the Auditor General’s oversight in Ontario. If passed, the Auditor General will be allowed to follow public funds to indirect recipients and third party organizations. Miller says the Auditor General has been investigating a number of detailed cases of government spending practices. He says Bill 190 will give the provincial Auditor more tools to do their job. Miller also says the investigation into the Ministry of Transportation contracts for road and highway maintenance in the winter would benefit from Bill 190 if passed.
