Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says he is supportive of a private member's bill in the Ontario Legislature that would give municipalities the authority to kick someone off city council for serious code of conduct violations.
"I support Bill 5. I think it's reasonable and appropriate," Sutcliffe told reporters following council on Wednesday., which was moved by Orléans Liberal MPP Stephen Blais, would permit municipalities and local boards to direct the Integrity Commissioner to apply to the court to vacate a member’s seat if the Commissioner’s inquiry determines that the member has contravened the code of conduct by failing to comply with the workplace violence or harassment policies.
City council approved a motion by Coun. Ariel Troster that directs Sutcliffe to write to Premier Doug Ford in support of the bill. He stressed that there would be a standard of behaviour that would need to be reached before a councillor could lose his or her position.
