Stiles: Kinga Surma needs to resign

QUEEN’S PARK – Marit Stiles, Leader of the Ontario NDP, demanded the Premier remove Kinga Surma as Minister of Infrastructure.

“After wasting billions of taxpayer dollars subsidizing a luxury spa on Toronto’s waterfront, and tipping the scales with an unfair procurement process, the Minister responsible is missing in action. Minister Surma has repeatedly refused to take responsibility for the mess that her Ministry has made, but enough is enough. She needs to resign. And if she won’t, the Premier needs to take responsibility, do the right thing, and fire his Infrastructure Minister.”

A scathing report from the Auditor General found the Ontario Place redevelopment project has been rife with preferential treatment and out-of-control costs.
