Opposition calls appointee’s involvement in $1,000-a-head event a ‘conflict of interest’

According to an e-mail obtained by The Globe and Mail, the Toronto developer 's event will raise cash for Vic Fedeli’s Nipissing PC Riding Association.The Toronto developer and PC Party fundraiser who was just appointed chairman of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario is inviting potential political donors to a $1,000-a-head event for Ontario Finance Minister Vic Fedeli’s riding association next month.

Mr. Nigro’s involvement in the fundraiser appears to break no party finance rules. The event comes as Mr. Fedeli spearheads efforts to loosen Ontario’s alcohol regime, including allowing the sale of beer and wine in corner stores. Mr. Nigro told a legislative committee he was called before to discuss his appointment that he would not quit his post with the party’s fundraising arm. He replaces the Liberals’ LCBO chairman, former TD Bank CEO Ed Clark, who was a key adviser to former premier Kathleen Wynne.Mr. Ford’s government, which reversed rules that restricted “cash for access” fundraisers, has faced a series of allegations in relation to fundraising in recent weeks.
